Bronzer saved my project.

Here's the final.

It's a bit hard to tell, but there is a light inside the top piece to highlight the ring.

                     

I put this ceramic stucco on little pieces of chipboard to look like stone blocks and then applied it to the model, a stone veneer if you will.
The stucco had a very bright gray color that clashed a bit with the gold.  I tried to paint over it, but the paint was too thick and it covered the texture.  Last minute I had the idea of using my bronzer to tone down the color.  The powder was great because it kept the texture intact and gave it a warmer color.  Bingo.
