Ah, another know nothing that thinks she can do as well as the pros with her point and shoot. I understand that diamonds are a real bitch to shoot properly even when you have all the proper lighting equipment (very specialized) in your studio.
And, I am surprised at you, Cotty. Why didn't you just tell her she is out of her depth? 10x of a diamond is microphotography (well maybe not if it is the Hope), not macro. This is not a job for an inexperienced professional product photographer to attempt with a tight deadline (remember the spectral highlights are very important here), much less someone who doesn't even know the basics. File sizes? Least of the problem.
