I'm curious about the settings you used, particularly the 
max_trace_level and the photons (since in both cases it appears you may 
not be using high enough values).

I would also guess that you may be using too much dispersion, as your 
render is noticibly more rainbowy than the photo.

You might consider making the surface the diamonds are resting on 
non-reflective if it results in a significant speed increase.
