Hi All;

    My favorite trick to pose rings is to use a hot glue gun. Just a
    tiny drop on a piece of low-glare glass and quickly, before it cools,
    stick the bottom of the ring shank into it. If you use the minimum of
    glue and position it right, the glue is invisible, and the low-glare
    glass can be put over any material. In fact, if the glass is proped
    up by the edges over flat black paper, and the lights are adjusted
    righ, the ring will appear to float in space.
