2. Setup
Position the lights as described above. Two desk lamps with soft light (irrelevant if you are using photo tent -- the tent is there to soften the light), and reflector light at the front. I keep the cube open at the front, for easier adjustments and photographs, unless jewelry is highly reflective of the image of me taking photograph.
Uniform background colour is recommended. White background works great. Black background is a little harder to work with. I use one of the white wooden shelves that was sitting in the garage. Hardware stores will sell these for a few dollars.
jewelry neck stands look effective only on some pieces, but for most laying on the white surface is the best.
3. Jewelry Arrangement
Spend time arranging jewelry. Clean the jewelry if needed. Polish and remove finger prints. Lay it nicely. For chains, spend time to even out all links and to lay it in a perfect circle. For fashion jewelry this may be a little tricky simply because it's made of various materials and it just doesn't like to sit perfectly on its own. Use blue-tac to fix it where you want it.
