I took this photo with a desk lamp, believe it or not. There are probably going to be alot of diamond photos...so I know that it isn't original, but I thought it turned out really good and I couldn't help but enter it.

the picture is blur, no effective compositions, over exposition, you should change raddically the way tha you look to things, the richness doesn't mean only jowellery or diamond....
beautiful ring, but this wasn't a great shot of it. I'll bet you can do better if you take a look at some of the high ranked photos for the jewelry challenge earlier this year. Your lighting is too direct and harsh and your depth of field needs work.
hHe center stone has a hot spot and the rest of it is blurred. If it were in focus, the negative space would have worked quite well. With such a dark background, I like to have more on one side instead of it being smack in the middle. Just my taste. Hope this helps.
