Three colour gold bracelet on a red velvet backgound, propped up on a small pot under the velvet. Three tungsten lamps, custom white balance. Cropped, levels to clip black and increase gamma, USM, resized, USM a tiny bit more. Still not happy, retried many times, with other backgrounds too but this is the best of the bunch. Tried all sorts of post processing to improve background but again this is the best I could achieve. The velvet has a crushed surface - perhaps that was a mistake!
28-135mm EF lens at 53mm.
Tripod mounted, used laptop to remote control to avoid camera shake.
Wish the spot editiong rule relaxation for December applied......

Is this a ring, a bracelet or a belt? There's nothing to show the scale. Nice colors, textures and shine. I like your background - it seems to have a pile like a carpet.
Beautiful bracelet. You did a good job of showing the subtle colors of the different kinds of gold. Seems like it could be sharper. The red velvet has some dust and texture that is distracting.
