Your task is to design a professional lighting setup that highlights the intricate details, textures, and brilliance of a piece of jewelry in a video. The setup should ensure the jewelry appears stunning, with no unwanted shadows or reflections, while maintaining a natural and elegant look. Provide detailed instructions on the types of lights to use, their placement, angles, and any additional equipment (e.g., diffusers, reflectors) needed. Also, suggest camera settings and techniques to complement the lighting setup for optimal results.
