No, that's a terrible analogy, because a picture of a diamond ring is worth much less than the ring. A copy of valuable information is generally worth just as much as the original. And while no-one would care if someone else had a picture of their diamond ring, they would care if someone else had a copy of their private information.
If you insist on analogies involving lost rings, this situation is more like taking a picture of a ring someone lost in the street than it is like taking the ring.
