    Barbara, you might try a trick that was posted some time back for
    photographing Opal.  Get a large white Corning ware  dish that you
    can lay your necklace out on.  Position the piece in the dish as you
    want.  Then fill the dish with enough water to cover the piece.  You
    might add just a drop of two of dish soap to break the surface
    tension and prevent bubbles on the piece.  You can now set up the
    lights and camera so there is no glare off the surface of the water.
     You now have a fully lighted piece with no bright spots.  The only
    problem is that this method destroys the brightness of faceted
    stones.  It works great for cabs though.
