Here's an image of what I would do. You will need the SuperPatch or MegaPov to
use it, though.

Here's the code for the ring:

disc{
 <0,0,0>,<0,1,0>,10,6
 pigment{
  function noise3d( sqrt( x^2+z^2 ), 0, sqrt( x^2+z^2 ) )
  scale .4
  color_map{[0 rgbf 1][1 rgb<1 1 .9>]}
 }
 finish{
  ambient 0
  diffuse 1.5
 }
}
