    I go with full manual, auto white balance, Fine quality and largest
    size on the files, and I set the aperture and shutter speed based on
    trial & error. I never use any auto setting (such as aperture
    priority) for shooting jewelry, and I use a tripod when I can. 

    When I can't use the tripod, I crank the aperture open to compensate
    for having to speed up the shutter. There is no "set formula" that
    I've found works on every piece. This is because we're talking about
    natural conditions, which vary, and jewelry, which doesn't always
    have the same size, colors or textures.
