Jewelry is one of the most difficult subjects for photography. The main reason is to reflect light and light is what makes the picture. One easy way is with the scanner. If one or two pictures for eBay does not run out and buy a camera. Find someone with a scanner. Cut the top and bottom of 1 "high box so that the piece can fit in the center of the frame holding the glass from touching the jewelry and blocking the light at the same time. Hit the button and you're done.
If you already have a DSLR (Any digital camera with interchangeable lenses), then we can go to the next level. I would suggest building a hunting box. Of course you can buy one for around $ 100.00, but you can get the same effect for $ 2.00, $ 4.00. Decide what color you want your background. Black, brown or white all the work, depending on what you like. Many sites want white background, so we start with that. Find a large piece of white paper. You can tape two together, if necessary with tape on the back, so it does not reflect. It is best to overlap a little as two pages will fit in the photo. They have about 10 "for the base and about the same as the folded 90 degrees back.You might need something solid to hold back. The next step in the final frame lighting control light. Buy a thin almost see-through white fabric and make a tent. One side open for the camera and the rest blocking the light. We are not going to be using flash.We will use continuous light for a simple WYSIWYG approach.
I'd move my desk to open a window or door. Do you want a very light but not direct light. Tent City, so that even light all around. Place the jewelry down to the white paper or the rings can make the owner. Take a piece of heavy cardboard and cut a thin slot. Put it under the paper and cut paper to fit the ring in a cardboard box. I would also add some additional light side of my tent. Reading lamps are good and naked light bulbs. This is the best photo jewelry box. Move around until you see what you think would be a nice shot.

Take a few shots to adjust the angle of a different look. Pay attention to changes in light as the sun will be moving during the shoot. Use a small white card is the jewelry to reflect more light on areas that are too dark and black card block light from bright areas. Blessed are the shadows in order to help define the shape of the object and give it depth. With practice you will learn what you like the look and can repeat it every time you shoot.
