I have finally got the model of the ring to work. But now I am having trouble lighting the scene. I have a Key Light with an intensity of .9 and a fill light with an intensity of .15 also with no shadow cast for the fill light.

But as you can see, I have two problems with the image. One is that there are no shadows being cast.

And two, the diamonds do not "sparkle".

If you have suggestions on what I could do, it would be greatly appreciated.

So far i can see, the modelling looks good!

Please make a brighter render of it!

donīt know much about 3 studio max,
but i think you have to turn the shadows
on at the lightsource it self

(sorry for my english)
