Seems a little out of alignment but excellent shot.

Iam having a hard time seeing what what kind of jewelry this is.
Image shiny and full of sparkle, is a little bit too dark in my opinion for an advertisement. (5)

WOW, love the sparkles. I want to say rotate the "choach" part so the picture isn't taken straight on, but I could be wrong.

item is not straight and is too dark to be considered for a print ad

Light stars distract my eye, seem to "glittery". Nice use of black background to offset this dazzling foreground.

While the concept is nice, the "ball chain" clasp takes away from the idea of diamonds...the two are not usually associated with each other in a consumer's mind.

I don't think the black and white conversion was necessary.

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...

i really like the sparkles, but i think the image is just slightly overdone.

The high contrast works well here.

While the post processing is extreme, I understand that was probably on purpose to give it an edgie feel.... the problem I see is the composition. I find it difficult to understand what I'm looking at and in what context it's worn or used.

Too much contrast, methinks... but very sharp and glittery. I like the starbursts.

Good sparkles!! Like the use of b&w. good detail in the jewels. Not sure about the subject matter ("girl" jewellery and "coach"?) maybe slightly too much contrast and top space is a little empty/unabalanced.

too dark and flat? gl :-)
