Hi there,

I don't have the time to digg deeper into that - sorry....

But I just made some search request (in google.at image search thought) and did find some results:
e.g. "black diamond earrings" - http://www.google.at/search?hl=de&rlz=1T4GGLG_deAT305AT213&biw=1259&bih=817&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=black+diamond+earrings&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=
--> you are there on the first page with a huge n° of results.

another search was (very exact term):

http://www.google.at/search?q=Mens+Holiday+Deal+Yellow+Gold+10k+diamond+jewellery&hl=de&rlz=1T4GGLG_deAT305AT213&prmd=ivns&source=lnms&tbm=isch&ei=EFfwTc7zE8jMswbKyO3vAg&sa=X&oi=mode_link&ct=mode&cd=2&ved=0CBgQ_AUoAQ&biw=1259&bih=817

You see the first result of that search? This is the same image as you do have on your website. So you have some competitors for the same images.

Apart from that there are several more factors of the whole website if you are trustworthy. And try to be less spamy with your image names - 12794_Mens_On_Sale_Gold_10K_Round_Cut_Cut_Black_Color_AAA_900ct_8093.jpeg is e.g. quiet spamy.

But I think you are on the right way - hope this helps a little bit.

Hi there, there are several factors important:

The most important ones are:

• the keyword must be in the name of the images (e.g. you have several images named with numbers img9325430644.jpeg --> nobody is searching for "img9325430644"
• the keyword(s) must be in the surrounded area of the image(s)
• the size of the image (bad if they are too small or too large)
• the keyword should be in the alt text and in the title of the page (the title attribute has no impact on seo)
• the keyword relevancy of the whole page
• the age of the image (the older - the better)
• the originality (the more unique the image is the better)
• the better the page where the image is on is linked - the faster the image gets indexed
• if the image is used several times the images seems to be more  important to Google and the chance of its indexation increases
• image xml sitemap

I hope I didn't forget some items - but those are certainly the most important ones.
