Something Old...Something New...

That is the strangest necklace I've ever seen. Interesting, and certainly different. Where did you find such a piece of jewelry? Lighting is close to being overexposed on the (curtains?) and has totally blown out on some of the jewel faces. It's a neat idea. Good luck in the challenge.

Aw Man! Where's the 300 ring? ;^) This is a fun photo. Very shallow DOF to have the 299 in focus and not the 298? Too bad you couldn't get a different angle to eliminate the reflection (of the table edge?) visible on the bottom of both stones. Good luck in the challenge.

Interesting photo, but how does this fit as a 'Jewelry Advertisement'? Really, I'm not trying to be sarcastic, I just don't see the connection. Cool photo tho.

Imperial Jade with Diamonds on White Gold Band

Interesting piece of jewelry. I'm thinking this may have worked better on a black background to let the ring and diamonds pop out a bit?

Very, very, nice. Clean, crisp image. Well lit and composed. Good job. I might have selected a cursive type font perhaps, but that of course is subjective. Good luck.

Exotic Beauty in Gold & Pearl

Now that's very interesting, and kind of confusing. The jewelry blends in a bit (reflections on the gold make the gold band disappear like camoflage) and for the life of me I can't figure out what that white stuff in the middle is. It's fun and creative. Good luck.

Give Her Beaded Elegance in Turquoise

Nice shot under tough lighting conditions. I wonder how this would have looked if you cropped say 100 - 125 pixels off the top? I like the sparkle in her eye. Does she have something blue on her lips? The beads on the end of the earring are a bit hot. Overall, a very interesting approach to this challenge...I like it. Good luck.

Very contemporary look. Nice job. Looks just like many ads one would find. I don't have anything to add. Good luck on the voting.

How can I say this without potentially hurting someones feelings...I love the color of the jewelry, in focus, great lighting...the model's facial hair is distracting for this type of photo (Jewelry Advertisement). Not sure what the solution is (if any is needed, after all this is just my opinion)...maybe apply a slight blur? Overall, great shot. Good luck.

Diamonds are forever

Very nice portrait type picture. May be a bit too subtle for a jewelry ad. Also, why B/W? That diamond would jump out more against skin color. JMO. Good luck.
