Which band? Canera v Mege

[MakingTheGrade]

So my budget only allows for one, but I am having such a hard time choosing!
The VC is delicate and beautiful and I could stack it. The Leon is more expensive, but more blingy and is so intricate in its own right.

If you could only get one, which would you get?

 

[Missy]

Will you be wearing it with your ER?

 

[MakingTheGrade]

Stole some real life photos, I hope the original owners don't mind!

I voted for the Mege. I have a different 3 sided pave band from LM and I love the side view!

 

[MakingTheGrade]

Will you be wearing it with your ER?

Potentially.
I already have a bezeled eternity and a mokume band that I wear with my ER at times.

 

[Lottie]

I voted for the LM, its completely beautiful.

 

[Missy]

They are both gorgeous. I cannot decide. Sorry, I am no help!
I don't think you can go wrong with either if that helps...

 

[minmin001]

love the VC one..

 

[Missy]

Reason I asked if you will be wearing it with your ER is that the Leon Mege band potentially could be damaged/cause damage to another ring directly next to it but the VC band looks safer with respect to that.

My ering is a very simple white gold solitaire. My hubby picked out the setting, it's very simple and sturdy, and honestly if the side got scratched it wouldn't be a big deal. I could just get it repolished more regularly.

OK, so back to not being able to choose as they are both beautiful!

I voted for the LM- since it's my personal style. The VC is lovely though.

I do have a van craeynest ring which I love the engraving, I think it's funny that people also refer to them as VC. I wonder who does the better engraving!

Haha, as far as style, they're both quite delicate, under 2mm with excellent craftsmanship. So hard to decide..

Hard to choose, they're both beautiful. I think I go for the Mege. It's so eye-catching & elegant. Either one would be terrific, though.

I love the Leon so I voted for that

I know. If only I could get both...
Well, Christmas is fairly close.

Did you get a quote from VC to see if he has a similar style in mind and comparable prices?

 

[princesss]

I prefered the LM until you said you might wear it with your e-ring AND until I saw the IRL photos of the VC. VC all the way!

 

[rainydaze]

the VC!!! more versatile, worry-free, you get both gorgeous diamonds AND gorgeous engraving, and good karma to boot (amazing craftsmanship by an incredibly pleasant craftsman).

 

[zoebartlett]

Both are beautiful but I vote for the Canera. I love the engraving!

 

[diamondseeker2006]

I adore the Victor ring!!! I intend to either get one like that or the full engraved band. I am doubtful that leon would recommend his ring be worn with another ring.

 

[packrat]

I voted Canera. I like the three sided pave, but then I feel like the side away from you is wasted b/c you don't see it. Plus I dig the engraving on the Canera.

 

[luv2sparkle]

I would choose the VC one if you are wearing it without a spacer. You are not only risking scratches without one but gouges and a wearing away of the metal. It won't be just light scratches that you can buff out. Over time you would get deep grooves.

I love the Leon, with a thin spacer or alone it would be my first choice.

 

[diamondseeker2006]

mtg...when I went to look to see what your e-ring setting looked like, I saw your new little antique ring! I just bought one VERY similar to it a couple of weeks ago!

[MakingTheGrade]

Oh, I could easily wear a spacer as well,it's not a huge consideration. Hehe, looks like the votes favor VC though.

But for those curious, here's my ering.

 

[bright ice]

I vote for the V. Canera band. Love it!

 

[stargurl78]

Both bands are absolutely gorgeous but I think I prefer the LM one just a tad more! Too bad you can't get both

 

[diamondseeker2006]

Now that I see the e-ring setting, I don't think the Victor ring goes as well as I had thought. I think a shared prong diamond band or some kind of rounded band might look better. The Victor ring is antique style and your setting is more of a contemporary tiffany solitaire to me.

I like the style of the Victor Canera much, much better. No contest at all. I don't like 3-sided pave, so the Leon would be out for me solely because of that. But the Canera looks like yellow gold...is it? I also don't like mixing yellow and white gold bands right next to each other (which is somewhat surprising considering I like two-tone, but I love them in the same ring and don't love them in 2 adjacent rings). So then it would be back to the drawing board for me.
