Rosanne and Sam,

    I am just learning how to photograph jewelry so I am not an expert
    but I am improving. 

    I recently learned about the Cloud Dome just about the same time my
    dog needed surgery. We were given this white plastic funnel to put
    around the dogs neck to keep her from chewing at the stitches. 

    I had tried several different techniques with Velum paper with no
    great success and then I decided to use the devise that the Doctor
    gave us for the dog. I simply cut the thing down to a smaller size to
    create a smaller cone. I place my piece of Jewelry inside the cone
    and shoot my photo from above while the camera is on a table top
    tripod. I also hold a small piece above the hole to filter light. 

    I am using only Florescent lighting and it is O.K. but not great but
    the cone sure did help with distributing the light. 

    I believe that you can buy those collars at a large pet supply store
    for less than the Cloud Dome system. 

It may be worth the experiment.
Good Luck
