Actually I wanted to achieve a shop-window environment. And yes, it was lit by HDR image .
About the caustics - you're right, I'll have that thing in mind.
Thanks for the attention .

you're not far off having photorealism - though there are a few points i'd pick up on, in relation to a lack thereof. first of all, the gems themselves seem too flat, there aren't any highlights to speak of - it looks like the diamonds are sitting on a plane, with a black sky. whether that's the case, i don't know, but i'd ask if you have an HDRI map enabled? if not, try one . also, with relation to that the caustics seem a bit too blurred to me - i'd try to make them a little sharper.

those small points aside, it's an excellent model - the gems themselves look physically good, while the lighting and overall render is excellent.
