This is a Keith Richards type Skull Ring that one of my students desinged, molded and cast for me in high grade silver, as a gift. We're both big Rolling Stones fans so this first cast ring holds some special meaning for me.
The opportunity to take a jewelry photo made for a great excuse to buy a macro lens ...but I didn't.

While I don't care for the ring, you've created a tremendously appealing photo advertisement. Use of lighting, vignetting, shadows is just excellent. Very well done!
Beauty & the Beast approach!
Nice composition, with the rose taking a bit too much of the focal point in my opinion.
Lighting overall is good, with only a small area blown out on the forehead of the skull. (5)
Nice idea. Sort of creapy with the Rose, but definatly intriging. The frame and composition are very good, but the lighting is a bit off. Too strong on the ring, too soft on the rose. I'm not too keen on the 'set' either, with the brown part of fabric. On an even set, this would've done better. Some water sparkles on the rose trick could've done some good results on this shot. Font is good and not too invasive. Feels like a 'tatoo-shop' picture. 6
Nice. I like it. Very interesting piece of jewelry. Good choice of text, the composition and focus is very good. Only issue I have is the lighting. I wish the light could have been difused some to eliminate the hot spot on the skull ring forehead. Good job, and good luck.
