   Try taping a piece of tissue paper over the flash. It will diffuse the flash and keep it from being so glare-y.

   Take the stuff outside and photograph it in the sunshine. If you can get dark paper to lay them on black, brown or red works well.

   Oh little reflective pieces of jewelry. I still have nightmares about that one!

   What ya do is make a photo tent:

   You will need to light with a tungsten source: ie a lightbulb! Be sure to change the WB on your camera to tungsten. You can wrap the lamp in foil (or use a directional desk lamp) to aim the light thru the opening in the box.

   If you have macro capabilities use it.

   Good luck.

   Take it from an angle, the glare would go.
