The 'blooming' is caused by being too close to the item being photographed. Back up and use a mechanical zoom for best results.
The photography, other than that is just short of amazing. You have found a new niche.
The website also is extremely well done. Easy to view, pleasant to view and intuitive. Good job here also.

On the very reflective items you can use a combination of Harvey's suggestion about moving back, plus put the object on a slight angle. The further back you go the less that angle needs to be. You could also tip it up a little bit.
Shooting with the room dark helps prevent reflections of the room. If you can't do that, then get a bolt of black cloth and run it from the edge of the light tent on an angle to the camera and then back to the other end of the light tent, with a hole or slit in the center for the lens to stick through. If you are tipping the item up a bit, you might need some black cloth above the front of the tent so it is in the path of reflection.
