Please vote on my wedding band

[Larissa]

I like both these bands, and can't decide which looks best on me. Please let me know what you think!!

Both are antique, from the 1920s, handmade, and show some wear and uneveness. I can't decide because one came to me MUCH more worn and uneven than the what the description said. I have 15 days to decide which to keep, or if I don't want either of them.

I will not be wearing my wedding band stacked with an engagement ring so you are seeing them as I would be wearing them.

Thanks :)

Honestly, they look the same to me. I'd pick the one that shows less wear.

Very pretty designs. :)

[Larissa]

PS-I realise that they are VERY similar. I was hoping to capture the differences on camera a bit better than I managed to...rings are hard to photograph. These are the photos from the website (but I'm trying to find out which looks best on my finger, not just on the website so please keep that in mind!!).

It took me a LONG time to be able to see any differences between the two rings.

I like the second one better. It has a slightly more dainty look to it than the first. I also like that from a distance, it's brighter because the carvings aren't so vertical.

Hope that helps!

[lawyerlee]

I'd choose the one that's less worn, too. They both look really nice on you. :)

[mel7dog]

I like the second one better because it has the little diamonds. They both look so similar besides that, pick whichever is in better condition. Both beautiful and unique :)

[sdianems]

I agree that they both look so similar that I would go with the one in better shape.
They are both great!

[JRPAGV]

It's really hard to tell the difference, but I like the 2nd one better. Which looks less worn?

[PG-rated]

I honestly can't tell the difference when they're on your finger. I agree to go with the one that's less worn - I had a jeweler tell me once that antique rings don't always make good wedding bands (and this was at an estate sale, so he was possibly losing a sale by telling me this) because previous wear can make them too fragile to stand up to daily wear for years. So if you're going this route, I think finding a ring that's held up well is essential.

[framboise]

I agree with the majority. They look so similar and both look nice on your hand. My vote is for whichever looks less worn. From the pictures alone, you can't go wrong!

[Reenie]

Ditto what others are saying- pic the one that is less worn, because it's very hard to tell the difference. Gorgeous! :)

[Sophia]

I think they look very similar on your hand as well as in the catalog photos. I still say go with the one that's less worn. They're both gorgeous.

[Bbbethie]

I think I like the diamonds in the second band better.

[tlew12778]

I'd go with the one that's less worn. You can't tell the difference from afar anyway.

[Larissa]

The first one is more worn. I honestly like the design in it better. That's part of why I posted here...to see if anyone could actually tell the difference once they were on my hand. And since no one can then it makes sense to go with the second one. Thanks ladies!! :D

PG-RATED - I will have two bands. One that matches his for more hard, everyday type stuff. I know my pretty band wasn't meant to stand up to everything...it's a shame though cause it's so beautiful!!

[Txfish]

Just missed it. I was going to say I like the second one better, though, so now I can bestow a "you've made the right choice, young lady!" upon you. :D

Good to "see" you and I need to catch up! Ring looks gorgeous.

[Larissa]

ACK!! I saw that someone named "txfish" had replied and I just *knew* it was you, Rebecca. It is good to see you!! :)

[MeTheGirlie]

I vote for number 2 also :-)

[Katy]

I was going to suggest the one with the less wear and tear, but you've already made your decision. Beautiful rings!
