As soon as the challenge came out, I immediately thought of jewelry as representation of one's affluence. An Aston Martin DB9 comes to mind too but where the heck would I find one? When it comes to material possessions, it's all about the status symbol right? So I decided to use the next best thing... a pair of diamond rings and a Rolex.
They are all fakes by the way. It's a matter of perception right?
It's a bit blown out especially the rings... it could use some burning but I realized that this was just a basic edit challenge. Oh well, let the low scores and comments begin. Send in the trolls!
I just need to press that "update" button :)

the reflection makes this visually confusing to me, the ring in particular is tough to see with the tones being so close to the background - nice "stuff" though
I'd have liked this more without the rings, although I know that's part of the title. Diamonds and cut stones are so hard to capture without them looking overdone, or on the other side of that, blurred. But that being said, the composition is nice and I like that you sat them on a mirrored surface. I like the greenish/brown filter as well.
