b) the narky thing about photographing your ring - to my eyes - is the reflection factor. Your ring has enough planarity to reflect almost-distinct background forms and lighting, and those reflections offset and almost overbalance the ring-on-finger image, as well as the embrace of the diamond by the arms of gold (? platinum?).
I would (she said, trying it out) hold up your hand, palm outwards, and slightly above your own eyeline, with your back towards a north-facing window in daylight (the ones in your flat overlooking the road would do nicely, I imagine). Tilt your hand until the light picks up the depth of the diamond, and take your picture from that angle.
