A bit more focus and maybe a tighter crop would have made this even nicer.

Intentional soft focus, or just blurry ?

Focus needs to be more defined, as it distracts from the image

I like the concept. I imagine the colors didn't show up quite right on the shell. Its not in focus and the darks are noisy. I would coil up the necklace so its not running out of the frame. Use an overhead, diffused light. Also use a black velvet to absorb more light giving more solid black background. From the reflection on the pearls It looks like your using 2 light sources of different temperatures. It could be that one is diffused and one isn't giving a different color. Keep on trying!

well, can't really say much about this. the over all focus seems kind of soft to me.

Image is not quite in focus and is a bit dark. Brighter lighting would help this a lot.

bit fuzzy, I think a white background would have helped
