Hey @RenRen,
Congratulations on launching your store! I've taken a look through and I have a few suggestions.
When you first land on your website, it's not immediately evident what you sell. Your logo and the photos and text you've put in your header are very generic and don't say "jewelry". I'd replace the photos in your banners with photos of your products instead with a line or two of text about it and then a call to action button such as "Shop Now".
You have quite a bit of whitespace at the top of your website, I'd eliminate this as much as possible so that your visitors are seeing (without scrolling down) what is most important - your products.
I'd recommend swapping out the bright green for a different shade, your current color is hard on the eyes against a white background.
You are missing a "Shop" link. When your visitor leaves your homepage, they won't be able to get back to your products unless they remember to go back to the homepage first.
You have a currency converter but currently only offer shipping to South Africa, I'm not sure if that was intended but I thought I'd mention it.
The next thing I'll touch on is your choice of products. This is something we see very commonly on the forums, people tend to start shops selling things like jewelry, clothing, tech and etc. The problem with this is that these types of items can be already be purchased offline in hundreds retail stores as well as online through thousands and thousands of online stores. So when a person is searching for a clothing item or a piece of jewelry in Google, these big companies with massive marketing budgets are who is showing up in search results and who you are competing with for customers. A person can complete IF they give people a reason to purchase from them vs. the other guys. A good way to set yourself apart is to offer trending products. We show you how in this video:

Hi @RenRen,
My name is Richard - CRO Expert at PageFly Free Page Builder. I have spent time to look at your store and leave some constructive comments. You can check out my comments below.
Home page
1. Sticky navigation menu
When you use a “sticky” navigation menu, it would “follow” your visitors as they scroll through the page. This feature makes browsing a website quick and easy. A visitor will find exactly what they would be looking for in no time flat.
2. Hero banner
Hero banner is the first thing people will see when they visit your store. Consider adding a heading, a short description, a CTA button to introduce your store, what you sell, what values you offer, etc. Your heading text should be short but clear about your brand to hold people’s attention and encourage them to explore more. And a CTA button below will provide clear instructions on how to respond to your offer.
Your header is tall, mainly because of the logo. You can follow this guide from Shopify to adjust the size of your logo. Your hero banner is not highlighted because it takes up less vertical space on your homepage, please also consider to use landscape images in the slideshow and they should be clear about what you sell on the site.
3. Use the same image size
Please use the same image size to avoid the gap, with the optimal width to height ratio is a square. It's recommended by Shopify to upload the 2048 x 2048 pixels for product images, you can read more about it at: https://www.shopify.com/blog/image-sizes
4. Add Testimonials
Increase your brand's trust by adding reviews about your products. Product reviews are critical to the success of an online store. Customers find it helpful to have an overview of their interested items, but often online sellers can also use product reviews to help the new customers pick the right product size and fit.
Product page
1. Add product quantity
Please set minimum and maximum quantity for your products, this is to avoid understock or overstock, when it comes to inventory management.
2. Use color swatches
Use color swatches to add more “visual” variations to your product page, which immediately show the user just what color variations are available.
3. Use Tabs to show product information
Use Tabs in your product page to make it look well-ordered. By using Tabs, you help users easily find required product information by clicking on the related tab title, for example shipping policy, size chart, guide, material, and return policy.
4. Include your shipping policy size guide
Don’t forget to include this important information in your product page. People should be clear about the product information before they can make a purchase. Don’t forget to use bullet points with plenty of white space to highlight your product features and increase readability.
If you find it difficult to make changes to your storefront, you may want to take a look at PageFly - this page builder app will help you to build up store with no coding skill required, free subscription plan and 24/7 support.
