Nice work.  Motion really helps to emphasize the optical properties of a
high IOR object such as a diamond.  I agree with "Leef_Me" that the no
"special effects" route is best.  Perhaps a slightly higher camera position
could diminish the "flattened" look that a head on view can produce.  Also,
one might be able to obtain the "feel" of looking at a small object close-up
by moving the camera in closer and widening the angle.  (Since I haven't
actually viewed results, these suggestions are, of course, just flying
guesses.) I'm looking forward to seeing the next step.
