My sanctuary necklace inside of a tin sacred heart picture frame, against a red shirt. Lighting in my living room, trying to minimize glare/reflection on the glass. I'm new at all this, and will be getting an editing tool soon, so I'd really love your feedback on how I can improve technically and artistically. Thanks!

For me, I think less of the red shirt and more of the necklace. It is in fact a metal challenge so show more metal :) There are a lot of textures in th locket itself (the rust, clasp, etc). A tighter crop and better focusing will help this image sing.
This is just so pretty...very lush...I'm very much drawn to the metal contrasted against the sumptuous burgundy velvet...it almost makes the metal seem as though it is alive...it gives it this nice "warmth"...and what an interesting little relic that is...I'm intrigued...
