Yes, Bill's right about that. One thing you can do is spray an little in a plastic lid, like from a small can of coffee, and then lightly apply just to the problem area with a Q-Tip or something. So it does not just go everywhere. Do check with the client before spraying willy-nilly.
The light tent keeps outside reflections (photographer, camera, ceiling lights, etc.) off the jewelry it does nothing for taming spectral reflections. That is what the dulling spray is for. Then if you are really good you go and add just the reflections you want to bring out the shape of the object, but that takes specialized lighting that would be too much of a hassle doing it on site.
