Lens to shoot jewellery?

[richliow]

YO friends,
any good recommendations for lens to shoot jewellery?

 

[catchlights]

60mm or 105mm macro lens, or 85mm PC lens

60mm is better, due to shorter focal lenght and wider angle of view
for a more 3D image

60mm
is that Nikkor?
or sigma or tamron?
thanks

nikkor for the extra sharpness

stones and metal look really nice when they are really sharp

I agree too.. add on a light box and mebbe a lighted platform. A piece of foam to hold rings would be good too.
