Use a light tent for lighting, they are very easy to make for less than $ 10. Look at

To get an idea of how to do this. You can also build a frame and use white bed sheets and then put the light on the outside of teh box for even lighting.
Use a tripod and the highest Aperture (larger number) for good depth of field. The following sight also provides good details for jewelry photography:
