If it's fairly small stuff and you have a scanner... some of my best jewelry shots have actually been scans.

Yes, scanners can create incredibly detailed images with very little shadow. Perfect for a lot of product images.

Wow...I would have never thought, would not have even crossed my mind for somthing like this.

The only things I have ever scanned have been flat...how "Deep" of an item can you get before the scan starts to fall apart?

I've seen some fantastic prints of stuff with a scanner used for capture. It's amazing what you can get!

Most scanners have great depth. I once read an article about a lady who created flower arrangements inside of tupperware boxes using fishingline, etc. to keep things in place, and then scanned them with the tupperware box opening face down on a flatbed scanner. The images she created were amazing and the depth (DOF) was deep enough that everything was in focus.

I think this is the lady who does scanner imaging...
