Step1: Setting up your work area and creating the Elliptical shape.
Ok, lets get started. Create a new image with the dimension 800 x 600. Set the background color to white, make sure the Color Mode is set to RBG Color and click ok when you are finished. Click View > Actual Pixels so you can view the full size of your work area. Create a new layer, Layer > New > Layer... (Shift+Ctrl+N) and name it Ellipse. Click on the Elliptical Marquee Tool
and create a ellipse using the dimension below.
Using the setting I mentioned you should have the ellipse below.
Step2: Create the boarder around the ellipse.
Still on the Ellipse layer, click on the Paint Bucket Tool
and fill the selection with this black color (#000000). Now with the color added to the Ellipse layer your image should look like what I have below.
Now right click on the Ellipse layer as shown below and click Blending Options.
Add the Blending Options setting below to the Ellipse layer.

make sure that subtract from selection is selected
and subtract from your selection to look like the image below.

, double click on the image of the gradient to edit it as shown in the image below.
When the Gradient Editor window comes up create the gradient below. Save the gradient you will need it in the next step.
Create a gradient on the selection going to the bottom to the top as shown in the image below.
with that added you should have the effect shown below.
Now we need to repeat step 4 and place a reflection at the bottom of the image. Hold CTRL and click on the Glass layer, Click Select > Modify > Contract and change the contract to 3 pixel. Using the Rectangular Marquee Tool
make sure that subtract from selection is selected
and subtract from your selection to look like the image below.
Create a new layer, Layer > New > Layer... (Shift+Ctrl+N) and name it reflect2. Create a gradient going from the top to the bottom to get the effect below.
