Set the focus to macro mode, turn off the flash, and set the timer.
Set up the camera on a tripod, or on a table so it won't move.
Place the object to be photographed in front of it.
Press the shutter button and take your hand off the camera.
That's all there is to it. If you want more of an explanation, read on, if not I hope this helps you.

Also, most phones have tiny lenses and sensors compared with almost all point n shoot cameras. There are macro and zoom lenses you can get for smart phones that range from cases with built-in lenses to ones held on with rubber bands. I've never tried either so I can't say.
That said, you would be the best person to answer this question! Try the process with your phone and see how the pictures turn out!
Good luck..
Some jewelry makers pay a pro to take their photos but I want to do that myself.
Also get yourself a light box or build one yourself on the cheap. You need soft lighting for shiny objects so you don't get hotspots on them from your lighting. It's fun though, once you get everything you need some of the macro shots we took came out looking amazing.
That's a very old microsoft "natural elite" keyboard that's curved and split in the middle. It has outlasted It's great if you know how to type the "correct" way. If you hunt n peck, it's not for you. i work in a shop, so my hands get greasy. that's genuine shop grease, not human filth.

But... Eww! Your keyboard makes me want to throw up!
That is a very well used keyboard. Many, many years of shop grime and grease on that. I'm a hands on person and it shows there! The palm rest area is polished to a high sheen compared with the matte finish on the rest of it.
