Honestly, it looks more like a lighting issue than an editing problem.
What editing steps did you apply? What does the original look like?

Wow , you're good ! I don't have ceiling lights only lamps at home. This was taken by the window but it is cloudy. Any thing I can purchase that's not expensive for lighting at home ?
When I first viewed the smaller version, I thought your camera focused on the box, but when I enlarge it, I see that nothing is sharp. Jewelry should be sharp. You might just have a soft lens.
Ahhhh , I didn't want to focus on the pandora name but I tried to focus on the bracelet. . Guess I missed that too.Furthermore, pretty much everything appears out-of-focus. Sometimes that's the intent, for softness, but, in this case, it simply makes everything look... well... out-of-focus.
Just my humble, inexperienced, opinion. ICBW.

I don't think you should try posing the bracelet along with anything behind it, as whatever is behind will most likely be out of focus, and will definitely be a distraction. Figure out a different pose.
You can use diffused lighting, or direct lighting, or a combination of the two types, but you're going to have to set it up better. I'd try both a softbox for general light, and a bare bulb to get some specular highlights.
Learn lighting.
Both the light quality and the light direction are giving the image that dull look.
Boosting the mid-tone contrast will help make it look sharper, without introducing a bunch of sharpening artifacts.
It would really be helpful knowing what edits you did and what editing application you used.
The book recommended - Light: Science and Magic is so often recommended it's in it's 5th edition.
