Nice use of color. The focus is soft, but it appears to be intentional. Gives the jewelry a happy worn look which is a different approach from the bright, sharp jewelry images in other entries. There are some dark shadows, but it comes off just fine. Good job overall. Best of luck in the challenge.

Why not color? The impact of diamonds is lost in the B/W. Nice sparkle from the necklace but from the title I get the impression you wanted this image to be about the diamonds...

Nice job duplicating the feel of a Jewelry Advertisement. Good pop with the jewelry pieces...they stand out nicely. Nice use of lighting to get this effect. I'm thinking this will make top 10. Good luck.

Very nice use of the roses. The colors in this jump out nicely. The only nitpicks I can come up with are the necklace is a little hot in the mid-section, and the green in the top left corner is a little distracting. Overall, great job. Good luck.

Very interesting piece of jewelry. The lighting and details are very good. This would have worked perfect without the reflection and using some text in the image in the negative space that would have been available. With the reflection the image seems off balance to me. JMO. Good luck.

It's ok. Seems a bit washed out, perhaps because of the white background. The diamond is well lit, but lacks sparkle. How did this look with a black background?

Beauty Jewel...

Pretty decent image of the ring. The face of the ring where the jewels (and emphasis is) is a bit dark. Good DOF. The text used looks like it was upsized and looks jagged around the edges. Best of luck in the challenge.

Cool props - I like the rock. Lighting is ok. Focus on the watch seems off a bit. What is that reflection on the left side of the watch? Looks like sunglasses. ;^) Good luck.

Hmmm...sure is a lot of red in there. For me it's not appealing (the color that is), but that's JMO. The ring itself came out very nice. Good full color in the stones with nice lighting. Perhaps just a bit too shallow on the DOF - the leading edge of the ring under the front three stones should be in focus. Again, JMO. ;^) Good luck in the challenge.

Hey - They're water droplets! Cool idea. ;^) Nice job on the composition. Looks like natural lighting was used - smart idea. I like it. You may take a hit for not attempting to incorporate some text, but hey - it should still do ok. Good luck.
