Higher Lower or One Level

I'm having an alternating gold rose and bezeled 3mm diamond band made by David Klass.

I really need help deciding which profile might be "nicer". I can see pros and cons in both.

A) Everything on the same level plane as in attachment #1.

or

B) The roses set slightly lower than the alternating bezels as in attachment #2.

There will be engraved leaves on the bezels. Plus milgrain on the bezels.

Does anyone have a photo example of what a high/low design looks like in real life? Would the recessed roses look odd? Or would it be an interesting design element?

Looking at the CADs, all the same level looks most pleasing to my eye. Which option do you like the most?

I also like them all one level.

It would help to see a top down view of the rings.

I also think I'd prefer it one level, but can't really picture it well enough to say for sure..

I like them all on one level. Whatever you like is the most important!

I prefer one level but i think the diamonds will appear slightly larger if they are level taller. Can DK provide Front angle lookind down at band?

I like 1 level. Plus it might be more comfortable.

I might be the only person who prefers the higher-lower, but I think the one level would also look nice so go with either! My personal preference is the higher-lower though.

I'm voting the same level unless you want the bezeled diamonds to stand out more than the roses.

What is it that you like about the higher/lower version?

That was the one David originally suggested. But I worried about the comfort.

Would it be possible for DK to make wax molds of both? Then, you could wear them and see what you like best.

For me the roses look more articulated when it’s higher/lower so I prefer that.

I finally have decided to go with both the bezels and the roses on one level. I think that will be more comfortable between the fingers to wear.
