the tilt of the image is uncofortable - it feels like the necklace will slide off the screen - with an internet image, gravity is always down, as in a picture on a wall. A print can also be viewed flat.
gems are notoriusly hard to photograph because you tend to get harsh highlights and reflections. you've done a good job of minimizing these. A little fill light low on the left would help fill in the shadows. The focus is sharp, and the detail is nice. There seem to be a number of lines, none of which really lead me anywhere in an obvious way. Nice submission.
I feel that the background is a little too rough for this shot (additionally, there appears to be a red piece of thread on the lower left) and perhaps the item itself is not as sharp as it could be.
