You might not always want to use a gold reflector. Silver & white reflectors along with black cards are used most for jewelry to not add any colour cast to the subject. Shooting jewelry is one of the hardest things to shoot. And takes patience to master. I couldn't just tell you where to place the reflectors for you to get the perfect shot. It takes trial and error. There are three things to consider when shooting jewelry... properly lighting the subject, reflections in the jewelry, and giving the subject "shape" and "definition". All are important to the lighting set up (this includes all reflectors and cards). I'm putting together a post on this very topic. The working name I have for the post is "Shooting Shiny Things". I want to make it as in depth as possible because there is so much that needs to be covered. Stay tuned... @Gerry, you can get reflectors from http://www.vistek.ca.
