Thanks for looking, and thank you for your honest advice.
As to focus, I intentionally focused on her right eye (camera-left), which is critically sharp to my eye in full resolution. In hindsight, I should’ve perhaps stopped down a bit to capture both eyes as she’s pretty much looking straight on toward the camera...but, the background would’ve been even more distracting, so I prioritized blurring it out.

You may not get much love for this shot, well done as it is.
There are 6 to 9~ graphic and composition elements* competing for attention and to my eye, that's diffusing the central purpose I gather you were after (I could be wrong, of course). If you're inclined to do a reshoot, you might consider:
1) eliminating the hand and wrist jewelry - or at least all but one ring - and eliminating either the necklace or the headpiece... I don't think it matters which;
2) have her splay her right hand onto her left forearm. It's amazing how much difference open and linear fingers can make;
3) maybe over-sharpened?
I think your focus may have nailed her nose, rather than her eyes... only an issue if it bothers you.
* head piece; arm ink; necklace; bra or camisole peaking out; ring, ring, bracelet; clutched hand/right hand breaking at the wrist toward camera...
Beautiful lady, nice light/expression. Just maybe a bit cluttered. She doesn't need so much adornment.
