Some info about the ranking system (some of this previously posted by Rnklippel):

Wood league (rank 1-4):  single win +2 stars, win streak +3 stars, loss -0 stars. Gem reward: 20 gems/rank.

Bronze league (rank 5-14):  single win +2 stars, win streak +3 stars, loss -1 star. Gem reward: 30 gems/rank.

Silver league (rank 15-??):  single win +1 star, win streak +2 stars, loss -1 star. Gem reward: 40 gems/rank.

Additional gem bonus: 200 gems for reaching Bronze league, 300  gems for reaching Silver league,  Does anyone have info about what the ranking system looks like higher up?

The definition of "win streak" seems generous. I get the streak bonus even after a win following a single loss, so either it's bugged or there's some sort of "won X out of the last Y games" calculation involved.

Also, I'm pretty sure that you currently can get matched up against people ranked much lower or higher than yourself. I'm at rank 16 and some of my opponents make newbie-level mistakes. I haven't really noticed the matches get any harder as I rank up either. However, this may all be due to the small number of players during the limited release of the game.
