Suggestion for Rendering Improvement

[Olive]

Hello everyone,

 

I would like to get some suggestion for my jewelry rendering. 

I used V-Ray which is installed in Matrix 8 to render my jewelry. Because I've never done any rendering before, I'm not familiar with the software. For this rendering I attached in this post, I used the default Platinum for the band, default white diamond, and default environment.

 

Can anyone suggest or guide me how to improve my rendering in terms of setting up environment and lighting?

 

Another problem is the metal doesn't look shiny entire ring, can anybody tell me how to fix that?

 

Attached here is my rendering

 

This is the render I want

 

Thank you very much for your help!
