you did not state wither this is poly or nurbs? if this is nurbs then you should disregard the whole UV mapping suggestion unless you convert to POLY (I would!) otherwise you will need to create your elf text in a paint prog like PS or illustrator then create a layered shader, import your text on an alpha and finally map to your mesh (if this is mumbo jumbo then start downloading texture tuts!) you can then use the texture placement tool(nurbs only) to get the texture in place.

lolexcelent ring dude, looks like you have it down to a T,
(not quite sure about that chain though) perhaps the chain could be on the flat surface, like it had been dropped on a table.
but over all

nice!!!
it's the lighting i'm worried about...also the rendering....
why not try mentalRay? i know you'll have better results about the glow...
but overall....nice work..you only need some few adjustments...
