    I am using emission on the gems...I actually have a 3d gradient ramp based on object space to make it lighter in the center of the gem and darker on the outside and I really like it, lol. I only had the emission strength at 1, which is the same as the background lighting so I upped the emission to 10 so it will actually light the surfaces around it...Had to scale it down and darken the glow, but I do like it a bit more...It's much more extreme now, but I think it's more atmospheric. Also I modeled a dip pen and killed off the feather.

    As for the illumination, you can even see some light escaping from underneath the base from the bottom of the center gemstone illuminating the table. I also softened up the shadows a tiny bit...may try for more.
