Here's a trick I learned from Matty's lightning plasma ball effect.
The interior of the text is rendered with the Reflection_BumpMap.fx effect. This makes it look as if it's plated with small diamonds.
The border is rendered with the ReflectionMap_Lightened.fx effect using some specularity.
And to finish it off, a particle layer is added to create the sparkles.
