Anyone got any recommedations for a camera for taking pictures of jewellery with?

Silver chains are a nightmare to get photos of and I can never get close enough to the subject before the focus goes out of wack, add that to the dreary weather and I can never get shots that I like the look of to show the quality of my goods.

I was looking at a MFT camera like the em5 or epl5 with a 30mm F3.5 Macro Lens.

What would you guys recommend?

Also with the lack of sunlight to make the photos look better is there any lamps you would use, what K is natural light?
 
I took delivery of an Olympus 30mm F3.5 MFT lens yesterday, I don't have much to compare it with but I am staggered by how close I can focus on things, I have no hesitation in recommending it.

Youll more than likely need some software too for focus stacking macro shots, as in the above shot where only a small portion of the ring is in focus youll want all the product in focus
 
Olympus cameras have a lot of great lens options for macro or close focusing and the cameras have in camera focus stacking which is perfect for this sort of thing.
