Easiest way to properly light something like a small piece of jewelry is to make a cone out of something like tracing paper, drafting vellum, or Trans-Lum. You can even use a Big Gulp cup with the bottom knocked out. The cone should go down from the lens, encircling the subject. Light source can be existing or added, as you wish. Punch some holes in the cone for a little sparkle if you want. You *can* do it without a tripod, but as with any kind of still-life photography, it's certainly not recommended.
