I would have liked this better without the title. Nothing in this image looks particularly nostalgic to me.

The first thing that jumps out at me right away is the focus. It seems a bit soft on the subject and there is a small piece of cloth in the bottom right corner that is in perfect focus. I think I would prefer a wider DOF to show more detail in the jewelry itself and less on the background.
The color seem odd as well. I realize the background is orange, but the jewelry has kind of an orangish tint as well. Maybe the white balance was off, maybe it was lighting, or could just be reflections of the background. Can't really tell without being there, so you may be the only one to know where the issue lies.
As far as being a Jewelry Ad, I don't think it is very effective at all. I can't tell if it's a ring, a necklace, or an earring. Needless to say, if I don't even know what it is, I probably wouldn't buy it. While I do like the negative space, I think it would be important to show the subject in it's entirety so we can at least tell what it is.
I see that the center jewel seems to be a bit more in focus than the rest of the jewel, but it just doesn't seem like enough to me. I want to see what I am buying.

This is a really different point of view, and the exposure is bang on. My only gripe would be that it needs a bit of slective sharpening on the eye.. I know you're title is nostalgic, and one might thing that older photos didn't look tack sharp, but I htink it'd help the image quite a bit..

Still an interesting shot... 7
