Since you're in control of the lighting, I'd shoot in Manual mode or Aperture priority mode (Av). That way you're also in control of the lens opening and therefore depth of field. The good news is that you get to experiment all you want and get quick feedback, especially if you move the images to a computer with a large monitor.
Lighting is important for jewelry, and you'll quickly see if you're getting the quality and effect you want. There are many articles available on the internet about photographing jewelry; you should be able to get some good tips there.
Good advice.
As your subject will be just a small part of the photo and your background white... remember to underexpose if you measure the whole image or, better, measure for the subject alone. This is a good reason to shoot manual.
You'll get the hang of it soon enough.
