I suggest you go for 8+ megapixels camera. Also take extra care of white lights while taking the photographs. First past the diamond on a hard white paper in the angle you want to take photo and then take the photo with 8+megapixle camera. 3 megapixle is a very insufficent for a product like diamond.
Thanks
