For the model I combined 2 cones and to render used arch-glass and set refraction to 2.418

Wow this is really good! You should try some caustics in MR as well. Should give you some nice light scatter.

I did it with caustics but I did not like the look on this one

Nice rendering!!!! Very nice indeed! May I give you some constructive technical crit from a jewellers eye? I promise not to be Ugly!

Ok the first thing is the size of the diamonds on the shoulders of the shank, There is only space for 3 there, and although you added extras to give it a shiny effect, it starts to look unrealistic. [link] The type of setting you are trying to create is this. It is called a pave' setting and if you look closely you will notice that the stones are held in with tiny beads that are created from the material of the ring. the other thing is the size of the claws holding the central stone (claws like that would not be able to hold a stone that size). I feel that they should be thicken in order to get a more realistic look. But that's just my opinion. Next the central stone has too much shine and busy reflections which seem to give it a strange look, and shape? Not sure how you would go about rectifying it?
Apart from those small thing I really like this! Very well done!

I like it, but I'm thinking maybe you need a bit of chromatic aberration in the stone.

no there is enough distortions as is

Excellent work! Very well done. It looks absolutely real.

what shader did you use? i'm trying make a diamond shader based on the mia_material_x solid glass preset.
you seem to have nailed a realistic representation of the refractions.

doesn't really matter which shader I used it came down to the IOR should be 7 for diamonds and set your render tab number of reflections and refractions to 12 or higher
