Whoa! This was way harder than I thouhgt. I found out I need pro lights. I used two 150 watt shop lights with reflectors and one 250 watt halogen and the on camera fill flash. Even with all that light I could not get all the grey out without completly washing out the photo. My hat is off to those of you who nail this.
Oh, these are old ceramic hands my wife collects, one of her rings and a white fleece background.

I find this picture to be pretty freaky... not that I would count you down for it, but seriously, it's like the hands are out to get me! There's something a little odd about the reflections in the hands... it might have been better to use a diffuse light that wouldn't reflect like that.
