This was a difficult shot.This braclet was given to me by my father in-law, who purchased it while in Africa in World War Two.I have no idea of its history, it is scratched and worn, so needless to say it needed alot of TLC. I used basic editing, I cloned out some of the flaws such as scratches and any dirt that had found its way into the grooves of the bracelet. I adjusted the highlights to tone down the reflections, and to clone out any lint that found its way on the black velvet background. I also used neat image.This is a handmade piece of jewelry that I thought would venture from the norm.

Typically a reflection will be a distraction or unwanted thing in a shot, but in this case, I think it actually helps the dimension and feel here. Detail & lighting good. (6)
You seem to have a double reflection from the mirror. The first from the glass itself, and the 2nd. from the aluminium (the mirror itself). Did you try to avoid this by using a different setup of ligths? I find the concept allright, but the double reflection disturbs me.
This is a very beautiful bracelet. I love the detail of the scene on this. I wish it had been a bit brighter, perhaps you could not have gotten the mirror effect though then.. 7
Interesting. Good lighting. Reflection idea is good, but I suspect you use a mirror, which create a double reflection which in turn makes the reflection looks blury.
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.
