    The same "Awk" for the 'Sharpening' tool in Filters (photoshop). I
    have an alternative and probably the most perfect way of sharpening
    your jewelry. I got this trick from a photographer, who said that
    most professionals she knows are doing this before the image go to
    print. 

    1) Make (drag) a copy of your image, 

    2) go to 'Filter', 

    3) then 'Other', 

    4) choose 'High pass', 

    5) adjust with the 'radius' slide, make sure it does not appear to
    be embossed, but get only the contours (need some trial and error
    here) 

    6) ok it 

    7) 'Overlay' the two layers (flip out box in layers...you will find
    'Overlay' somewhere in the middle) 

    8) You can see the image sharpening up... if needed you can play with
    the amount of fill 

    9) 'Flatten Image' 

    10) Walla 

    This is a real trick not many people know about...
