They're both lovely but I like the one on the right best, though as another poster said, I'm not sure how well it would stack with a wedding band

TokyoSushi · 18/10/2026 18:42

The bigger one

Agatha1989 · 18/10/2026 18:44

Definitely the bigger one, I like a bit of bling.

Skeeterinamber · 18/10/2026 18:46

The emerald cut.

FirmSnake · 18/10/2026 18:47

The bigger one suits your hand better. But both are nice and neutral. See what they look like with a wedding band before uou pick

AnnaQuayRules · 18/10/2026 18:47

I like the first one but can see I'm in a minority.

Which one do you prefer?

5289843DM · 18/10/2026 18:48

If its your hand, you have a lovely hand and nails!
Sorry, but the round solitaire looks teeny and more like a friendship type ring.

Is the square one a solid diamond, or made up of smaller ones? I can't tell because when I zoom in the pic gets blurred. The larger one suits your hand better.

TheCheeryPoet · 18/10/2026 18:48

Definitely the one on the right!

Ophy83 · 18/10/2026 18:51

It doesn't matter which one I prefer. Both are perfectly nice, standard rings. Which one do you want to wear for the rest of your life? That's all that counts.

Ridingthegravytrain · 18/10/2026 18:54

completely irrelevant but you could be my hand twin. As joey would say!

on topic I prefer the larger

Doctordoolittle · 18/10/2026 18:55

The bigger one.

OldPyjamas · 18/10/2026 18:57

I would prefer the one on the left if they were my only choice. That's not to do with what they look like though, more that I hate sticky uppy stones that get in the way and catch on things. The left one would be less troublesome.
I prefer, and have, a flush setting of 4 sapphires. Doesn't catch on anything.
So the left one for me.

Shinyandnew1 · 18/10/2026 18:58

I think the shape of the left hand one is pretty but the stone is too small for your fingers. The right hand one look like you’d struggle to wear a wedding band with it.

NormasArse · 18/10/2026 18:59

Griselinia · 18/10/2026 17:57

Um they're both the same except one is bigger and squarer.

So not the same.

I like the one on the right; it really suits your hand.

Vivi0 · 18/10/2026 19:01

The bigger diamond, of course.

BerryTwister · 18/10/2026 19:03

The smaller one looks nicer I think

PrincessHoneysuckle · 18/10/2026 19:07

Square

SnowflakesandSlippers · 18/10/2026 19:07

I think the round one looks more elegant.

CosiFannyTutte · 18/10/2026 19:10

The one on the right. It suits your hand more.

Good point about the wedding ring and what would fit with it.

My own ring looks like the one on the left. I like my ring, but I have small hands. You have lovely, elegant hands and can wear a larger stone if you like.

This hand is my hand…this hand is your hand!

Jane19855 · 18/10/2026 19:31

I like the first one

FillerTrackOnTheAlbumOfLife · 18/10/2026 19:34

The round brilliant.

MumofGreyhound · 18/10/2026 19:41

Both are lovely but I would go for the smaller - just my personal preference. If you know what your wedding ring looks like yet then try them both together.

EconomyClassRockstar · 18/10/2026 20:14

The seance one. Also, you have great hands OP!

Notajogger · 18/10/2026 20:20

The round one, it looks classier. Also would fit with a wedding ring. You'd probably end up taking off the bigger one and only wearing it occasionally.
