Both of these cameras will do just fine. I recommend the D3100 because it's a bit cheaper. If you really want sparkles in your photos, make sure the light is coming straight into the top face of the diamond. Also make sure the items are clean.
Which camera do you recommend for Mf-Carpediem?
Nikon D5100 - $497
16.1 MP|APS-C CMOS|3" LCD
Nikon D3100 - $447
14.2 MP|APS-C CMOS|3" LCD
