No need to purchase a big DSLR camera (Like the Cannon T3) you can take awesome shots with a point and shoot. Just use the MACRO setting on your camera, usually designated with a flower or a flowerpot icon. It allows you to take photos real close.
For lighting, I just angle my table lamp until I get the shine or line of light where I want it. I then fill the ENTIRE scene with my shot, I then take a deep breath, hold it and then take the photo. This prevents me from shaking. I take six shots, three with hands right over left and three with left over right. This way, I end up with at least one awesome shot.
