Scott -- I think you might want to investigate a 'light tent' for this kind
of photography. Someone mentioned that direct light is very difficult for
jewelry (especially gems) due to the reflective surfaces. A cylindrical
white cloth tent with flash and modeling lights located outside the tent
will soften the reflections and glare, sort of like bounce-flash for regular
interior shots.
