Scanning gems, jewellery

[Stop nagging and give me beer!]

Hi,

I have a Canon Scanjet 4300C. Is this good enough to scan jewelley and
the like if I have the right software? Do I need some sort of jig for
diffusing light for the image to have good focus? Any help here would
be greatly appreciated.

Hi...

With all due respect to the other scanner fans, I suspect for the
purpose you're proposing you'd be much further ahead using a good
digital camera and a light tent.

Others are welcome to disagree

Take care.
