Been enjoying your blog Lori. I'm an artist and a jewelry photographer. Hints - make yourself a light tent with a white translucent fabric. Place lights on either side to help even out the lighting on the jewelry. The brown or yellow effect is probably due to not having the white balance on your camera set correctly. Depending on your camera, probably the incandescent setting will be what you need - this tends to work with the newer "daylight balanced" fluorescents as well. You can see my jewelry shots at gjfoto.com - email me if you have more questions. Good luck and nice jewelry!
One more suggestion - don't forget to set your camera to the MACRO setting - that's the little flower symbol. This means it will focus closer and help you with a sharp, non-blurry image.
