You've got nice light, focus and reflections in the gold and pearl. It's really a beautiful work of art, and I'm pretty sure you were trying to reinforce its exotic nature, but the complexity of the flower you've set it on is really distracting to me. It camoflauges the interesting contours of the piece.

the pin cushion protea as the backdrop for this very unique piece of jewelry is very distracting, though I like the idea. Think the subject is just to large against the background. Like the reflections on the subject from the protea. May be tighter crop would help this for me. crop in left and bottom a bit? Not sure. it could work.
