If you brighten up the handle wrap, it'll pop quite nicely! I like the designs you have on the gold part, will look nice. I'd suggest having those as a different hue/saturation to make it pop.
ok, I have tried to render images and I still have a bit of popping but it looks like it is due to a big amount of materials I have in my scene. There is no poppings when I render mesh with one material
