Hmm well I noticed on the one with the rings, that the focus was a little off (maybe it would have looked better if it focused more on the diamond?). And maybe some appeared a little un-clear because of the focusing or noise. Just takes practice to get it right is all and of course it takes time.

There is no noise in the RAW files of these images. Neither in the high-quality jpeg conversion. Maybe their 500k compression shows noise.
Other than the unfocused diamond rings, I don't see any problems with focus. You must also keep in mind that its dark 1/2 the time when these images are taken. Its not the same as taking 3 hours to shoot a bug or following a cat around to get a good shot. There are other things to shoot
