Does anyone have experience with this attachment?
 

I need to take photos of some jewery for insurance docementation
purpose, and would need to have a macro lens. I saw this on eBay and
am wondering if it would fit the bill. Photographic interests are
sceneries and travel and therefore would hate to spend much on a macro
lens. I'll be using a 20D with a 50mm 1.4 prime lens.

Since you did not state what attachment I have no idea. You don't need a
macro lens. Look for a set of + lens that allow you to use your prime lens
focusing close up.
For example
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...22641 96&rd=1

There are sets of +1 +2 +4 that give you many combinations.

Care to expand a bit on the description of the attachment?

A "close-up filter" will probably do what you need, try that first.
Cheapest option.

A real macro lens would be the next step.

Don't they still make extension tubes for SLR's any more?

Well, if you want a killer, inexpensive macro, the Canon 50 compact macro
is almost unbelievable for the price.
