If I were to see this add in a magazine I'd flip the page and keep going. I just don't see anything that is going to grab my attention and make me read this page. The ring itself is odd, and will help grab some people's attention but I just don't think that grey cracked background is right for a magazine article. It looks like a tree trunk from here, not sure what it really is , but maybe something that'll bring out the ring some more. Also, when you went to blur the background, you blurred the ring's band and if it had more Sheen it might give it more of a posotive feel to me.

The font is ok, and well placed, but that ring just doesnt' do it for me.
