"...Enjoy" - yes I do, very much
the little stones sparkle and reflect like real ones - and the detailing of the black cap is well done also! An impressive work & thanks for sharing

Great, Agreed on the glass tube rather than the brass one.

Looks too artificial too me, but I can't tell exactly what's the reason. Maybe try to move that black away from absolute black, I think that's messing up the light. Also, some depth of field effect might be nice, since it's a small object. If you're really into experimenting, try some bump and dirt maps for the bottle and ground.

Really appreciate the comments and critiques. In that spirit posting two new images. Made some very minor adjustments to the bump maps of some of the textures. Biggest change was adding a noise map for the glass tube, strength of that map set very low. First image has the same hdri setup as the originals. Second image I rotated the hdri around 160 degrees . If any ones interested the hdri is out of the sketchUcation studio pack #001. It's a multi light setup. Experiments showed the diamonds render best under multiple lights. Forgot to mention all renders done in Twilight. Original images post pro in Gimp. Second set of images very minor post pro in Affinity ( just downloaded it last night ). Second set of images any better...... darned if I know.
