I am in the early stages of making a diamond RHR. I want something with some vintage flair and that does not look like an engagement ring.
I didn't find anything I really liked in rings but then I found these 2 pendants and thought both would look great as a ring.
Both jewellers say they can do a custom order and make a ring like the pendant.
Either way I will have a 0.5 - 0.6 ct MRB stone in the centre.
I really like both and can't decide which I like more.

Which would you choose?

I love the first one. It seems more organized and deliberate. Also reminds me of a compass rose.

I also prefer the first one. The milgrain detailing is lovely.

I like the first one. The second one doesn't read clearly to me...the details are a blur.

If you are doing a MRB center what do you think about marquises set into the petal areas?

I absolutely love that suggestion about the marquis! The two little melee diamonds in there was one thing I didn't love but I didn't even think about switching them out for marquis.

I prefer the second one as it is more unusual to me.

Personal preference and all that.

Definitely no 1.
It’s a much “crisper” design so more visually distinctive.
The other setting is lovely but it’s very “busy looking”, difficult to focus on any particular design element.

I prefer the first as well! The second is a bit of a hodgepodge of sparkle, while the first looks more deliberate. I do like the suggestion upthread of changing the two small diamonds in the petal to a single marquis, cost permitting.

I like that one, too. Something about the curves of it is very appealing to me.

I think I am leaning towards the first one though.

The first one for me. It’s elegant and beautiful. I enjoy the defined elements and aesthetically it’s more appealing. To me. Personal preference entirely. Which do you love more? Which speaks to you and says wear me? ❤️

I prefer the first one too. I think Ivy and Rose have a matching earring set for that too. I definitely had my eyes on that one lol

The first one is my favorite as well! I love the air gap around the first halo and the overall shape is more pleasing to me.

The first one! I have plans to eventually buy a stone to fit in that mounting. I have admired it for a while now.

I'm definitely leaning towards the first. I keep going back to that one.

Yes, I love the earrings, too. Once I get my ears pierced I may need to get those!
