    So I'm thinking about getting a right hand ring (nore than just the stacked stering silver bands I wear now) and I have 2 I really like that I can't decide between.  I need opinions!

    Option 1: London Blue Topaz ring in white gold ($350 + $35 to re-size)

    http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/14k-white-gold-ring-london-blue-topaz-4-ct.-t.w.-diamond-1-8-ct.-t.w.-oval-ring?ID=501752&PseudoCat=se-xx-xx-xx.esn_results

    Pros

    • Normally sold for $1000 at Macy's but will be on sale so I can get a more ring for my money.
    • The blue looks so vibrant and beautiful (and I can confirm this in person before buying)
    • All of my other jewelery is white gold (or some silver color)

    Cons

    • I am not one to wear bold colored jewelery daily so this would be a piece that could only be worn on occasion.

    Option 2: Morganite ring in rose gold ($330)

    Which Right Hand Ring Should I Choose? :  wedding right hand ring london blue topaz morganite white gold rose gold Il 570xN.300049156 Engagement Ring - 3 Carat Morganite Ring With Diamonds In 14K Rose Gold

    Pros:

    • I could wear this ring with almost any outfit (which is a big plus for me)
    • Cheaper (slightly)
    • Love the look of rose gold and it would be nice to have a rose gold piece.

    Cons

    • Seller is new to ETSY and currently has no feedback (bio says he's been a pro jeweler for 10 years but obviously he can type whatever he wants there and it might not be true).
    • Can't see the ring in person before buying.

     

    So what do you think Bees?  Which do you prefer?  Which do you think I should get?

    I prefer the second, as I think it's more classic and understated; but if most of your jewellery is white gold or silver, I think the first option might be the better one. I personally like my jewellery to coordinate (though, I will wear my ering (white gold) with a yellow gold ring and bangle; I have to wear the bangle though, as otherwise I feel it clashes)

    @barbie86:  I think that is why I am drawn to the Morganite ring.  It is very classic and understated which is the same as most of my other jewelery.

    But the blue topaz is just beautiful and fun!  I'm so torn ...

    that's a tough one!  they're both so lovely.  i went for the blue topaz because OMG that color is to die for!!!  plus i'd be a little leery about forking that much money over to an etsy seller with no feedback, although if you did it with paypal it would probably be ok because it's not custom work.

    i dunno.  tough one.

    @cardus:  Yeah - It definitely makes me wary but then again, even the sellers with amazing rating had to have those first few people who bought from them when they were just getting started.

    @barbie86:  If I can find a way to swing it - I totally would.  Don't tempt me! ;)

    I am extremely partial to the London Blue Topaz as I JUST bought that ring as well. The color is so incredibly gorgeous.

    I love morganite but with my tan complexion the beautiful light pink color was faded/washed out against my skin. :(

    The topaz is eye grabbing for sure, but for some reason I'm really leaning towards the morganite! I have a thing for rose gold right now!

    Bump - any more opinions?  I appreciate the votes (obviously) but it is also helpful to hear people's more specific thoughts on the rings or the pros/cons lists.

    I would be nervous buying off Etsy without some prior feedback - and I have spent $500 at a time there, but only from sellers with lots of feedback. 

    You don't want to wind up with a lemon.

    The blue on the topaz is gorgeous!  

     

    I'd say it depends on your personality.  If you like bold pieces, go for the topaz.  If you like more understated jewelry, go for the morganite.

     

    Either way, you can't lose w/both!

    I think the morganite is beautiful, but I think I'd want some color-- unless your e-ring is a gemstone?

    @Mrs.KMM:  I LOVE the second one! Pink stones aren't my personal favorite but this one is gorgeous! I might wait til the seller gets some feedback? I'm not sure, I've never ordered from etsy (but plan to when I start purchasing wedding items!!!).

    I LOVE the morganite. It would make me nervous to buy from a seller with no feedback. Both rings are pretty! No matter what you pick, it'll look great.

    I voted morganite because you said you would only wear the topaz on occasion. The morganite is sooo beautiful. You could wear it with anything.

    they are both beautiful. 

    which ring would you wear a lot right now.  everyday.  that's the one to pick.  then, maybe later on,  for a special occasion (birthday, anniversary,etc) you could get the other one.

    I bought a RHR from an etsy seller who was new. I couldn't resist it and the price was right. Well after I ordered it, and it arrived, the seller vanished. I suspect that the gemstone is fake as it has scratched but according to its Mohs hardness it shouldn't have. Just be careful of new sellers.

    @mammamia:  Yeah - I know they do.  That's just not my style though.  If I go with the London Blue Topaz, it will definitely not be an everyday ring.  I'll only wear it with certain ooutfits/colors.

    @LittleAudrey:  That's really my fear with the new seller.  That either it won't be real and I'll pay a ton for a fake or that they'll try to take my money and run without sending anything.  I'm sure many new sellers are great but there is just no way to tell.
