If you could have taken with a faster shutter speed to prevent the motion blur on the beads then I would have marked it higher. Nice image with black behind the gold and skin tones.
In my oppinion the out of focus beads destract from the main subjects of the picture. I think the picture would have been better if it had been cropped half way up the loop of beads.
