Nice colors. Shadow her is a major distractioninmy opinion.
The overall size of the image is on the smaller size at 432x213 pixels. The file size is also very small (27K), which will hurt it's overall quality.
We are allowed 640 pixels on the longest side, and up to 150K. Using as much of the 150K as possible will only help to not compress the image. If you need help in understanding or making these happen, please don't hesitate to PM me and I can give you some pointers. (5)

blurry and bent, this photo would not be print ad quality

Interesting bead, but the soft focus and harsh lighting make this photo unappealing.

I think that you may have been better to present the image on an angle thus making a larger image

Composition and placement are uninteresting. Hard shadow not esthetic at all.

Having the strong lighting is good, but the harsh shadow is not so good. Either a reflector to shine some light behind the bead to reduce the shadow, or selectively lightening the shadow would help.

this image is a bit too small to really judge

the shadow is distracting

small & bottom is blurry. Lighting is casting a very strong, distracting shadow. - hope you overcome the likely low score and continue to participate and improve.

Glass section seems to be out of focus. Glass is hard to work with.

you could have done this one without a shadow - it only takes away, adds nothing pretty to the otherwise good photo.

The subject appears very "busy" to me; perhaps a different subject could have helped.... The shadow doesn't really add either. It could use some sharpening too. good luck.
