I'm going to London next month to shop for an antique engagement ring. We have a tight schedule, so I'm trying to do as much homework ahead of time as possible.
I'm not very knowledgeable about antique jewelry, so I'm hoping for guidance from those wiser than me
Here are two rings that have caught my eye, I'd like to know your thoughts on them overall and in terms of price, etc. Is there anything I should know to ask about them?

This is my second time getting engaged. The first time, I was in my early 20's and had a ring I never loved, this time I'm determined to get it right!
Also, can anyone recommend places to look in London? I posted that question in RockyTalky, but no takers, so maybe the question is better suited to this forum.
FWIW, I'm an American living in Denmark, and I'm getting engaged to a Brit, which is why we're looking in London, and not the US, where I gather there is a better selection and friendlier pricing.
