I wish this was an "advanced editing" challenge so I could remove the reflection; at first I thought it would be kinda cool, but now I'm thinking it is just distracting...
I wanted to use blue as the accent color for the platinum/diamonds, so I put the ring on a piece of glass and put a (fake) blue rose underneath. I propped the ring up with a small bit of eraser; any more elevation and the eraser became visible in the picture.
Taken with the Canon 100mm/ƒ2.8 Macro lens with circular polarizer hand-held in front of the lens (my CircPl is 77mm, and I don't have a step-up ring. D'oh!)

It's a great concept and a good shot. The only issue is the reflection on the surface you placed this ring and the central diamond being slighty out of focus.
For the most part, nicely done! Only suggestion is to bring the diamonds into a little more focus - the middle one doesn't seem as sharp as it could be. I like the blue background!
Reflection below the image is not good. I think the ring on velvet or something would be better, or something that doesn't reflect. Otherwise nice & sharp. perhaps a little tightly cropped left & right
Love the lighting and the backgoround. Only thing that I think would have made it more effective is if you had the ring tilted instead of flat on the table.
