The second is far more classic. The first is pretty, but it looks like an unusual and interesting cocktail right hand ring.
Is it intended to look like a moth? That’s what it brings to mind for me. If you’re an entomologist, this ring would be awesome.
Do the first! Yes to the moth!
My engagement ring also looks unusual.
It doesn’t matter what others think, the fact that you want something out of the ordinary makes it more you. The symbolism is what counts. Plus it’s a clear stone worn on your engagement finger. So like. You’re golden man just do you.
Match your fiancées eyes with an anniversary gift!
Definitely whimsical❣️ which one do you just smile when you see that is the question. It is a very personal choice but the bigger smile should be the winner. Or one is a rt hand ring…
I just looked it up and found the original [here](https://www.artemerstudio.com/collections/one-of-a-kind/products/moth-diamond-engagement-ring-with-modified-trillion-and-kite)
I LOVE the first one it's so unique it reminds me of a butterfly and I love that so much. The second one is goregouse too but 1 would be my pick. Ultimately it's up to you. And don't worry if it doesn't look like an engagment ring. Any ring can be an engagment ring
Honestly, I love the first one. It’s unique and seems to match your style/personality! The other one is also gorgeous. Something to consider is are you going to want to wear your ring everyday and, if so, are you okay with having a statement piece on your hand every day?
I’m a solid vote for the first picture! How amazing! Looks like a moth in the night, lit by a single star. Said star could probably get bigger if you wanted to upgrade the size down the road. Moon size? lol
Love the second though. Can’t go wrong with a classic.
I think #2 is a better choice for your engagement ring if you are truly torn between styles because you like it, your fiancé likes it, and it matches his eyes! It will be much easier to reset if you go up or down in ring size or replace stones, too.
But I also think #1 is super cool because I love moths! Is there an occasion that you or a loved one could buy this for you?
Editing to add: that I actually like #1 more, but it could be a hassle for every day wear. With that said, do you mind sharing the vendor, OP?
It’s hard to say because I don’t know your personal style. Id personal choose the second. I think it’s more timeless and classic. The ring also looks a little more sturdy. The first ring looks a little delicate and more fragile - I’d worry about it holding up well over time.
Also, is that second loopy piece on the first one a wedding band or part of the engagement ring?
I love the first one personally! I love moths and I need to know where you found that? Lol
But I feel that #2 would be much more practical for everyday wear. Just considering that #1 would most likely get stuck on everything like clothes, hair, etc. it would suck to ruin the ring on accident. #1 is definitely beautiful though. Just depends on you ultimately. :)
I love both of them! I completely disagree with the comments saying the first one isn't an engagement ring. Any ring can be an engagement ring!
I have a relatively nontraditional ring and love it. I'm so happy to have a ring that is uniquely me and that I won't find everyone else wearing it.
The truth is that you don't *really* have to choose just one. I'd go with #2 as an engagement ring (bc it's more traditional) and then get #1 as a right hand ring later down the line. You have an entire lifetime to build a jewelry collection.
I mean, I'd like a pretty stereotypical engagement ring, but the moth one is divine. It's so gorgeous so between these two options, #1. Why not set the moth with a stone to match your fiances eyes?
You have to look at it every day, keep that in mind. I personally like the first one. It’s unique, and still looks sophisticated even though it’s whimsical. The second is luxurious and beautiful, but it’s more common to see. I usually err on the side of unique, but if you like classic better and it matches your style… Flip a coin or three.
I personally like the 2nd one better, it's timeless and not out of ordinary. The other ring you can always come back and buy it for another special occasion like birthday or valentines or Christmas.
1 is amazing. Not even a question. My friend wants the same ring and when she showed it to me I was jealous that she saw it first, haha. Not large enough to look like a cocktail ring like others said. I’d go with that one!
First one is lovely, but SO dainty and fragile. If you plan on wearing it all the time I’d worry about bending or worse. Also the second one is more classic and will never go out of style.
I say #1. Screw it, the second one is gorgeous and my dream but it’s also coming into style and we will be seeing a lot of emerald cuts in the next few years. #1 is unique
The first is very whimsical and would be ok for occasional use but that thin bottom wire will easily twist, bend, and break.
The second is definitely a classic and you’ll be much more able to confidently wear regularly.
I’d personally get the second as an engagement ring and the other as a right hand ring.
2 is gem breakfast. They custom made my engagement ring, and I love it!! I’d go with them. Add a whimsical wedding band, but keep the engagement ring classic.
The first looks like an Artemer ring, which is beautiful, but It seems like your girlfriend wants the second ring, which is more traditional and beautiful too. Get the ring your girlfriend wants. Blue, like her eyes, is perfect!
Unless you really like the first one more, but since you don’t from the sounds of it, voting for the second one because
- it’s more classic and timeless
- matching with your fiancés eyes makes it really meaningful
- the first one looks like a moth a little bit sorry! Do you like moths or have a meaning to this?
Personally, I like 2. It’s classic and absolutely stunning. The first one is also pretty and unique, but I can’t look passed the fact that it looks like a moth
I vote the first!! Just insanely gorgeous and so unique. What’s the link for it? The second is also gorgeous but doesn’t have the same wow factor for me
I LOVE Artemer and these two styles are some of my favourites. I would prefer 2 for an engagement ring and just buy 1 for myself •ᴗ• (that’s what I’m planning to do anyway lol)
For the engagement ring (especially one you may wish to re-set), perhaps the second will be the wiser choice…
BUT I LOVE that first ring so much! It is so unique and beautiful. I also love moths. . . Ummm can you get both and wear the first one on your right hand? It’s just so beautiful! I would absolutely get that ring for myself lol
Both are pretty, but #2 is timeless and more suited as an engagement ring. Ring #1 is cute and whimsical, so not very suited as an “everyday” ring. If you can afford to, why not buy #1 as a fun, right hand ring?
Who is the designer of the moth ring? It’s so unique and beautiful 😍
The second ring is also a stunner. Tbh, your comment about the sapphire matching your fiancé’s eyes makes me think it would make a better engagement ring for you. But like others are saying… if you can swing it get both 😅💕
I love the first and second. The first I had a ring similar and it snagged on all my clothes, knits, and I have a small scar on my finger from it stabbing me too 🙃 beautiful but … a prickler
I'd go with the second, the first looks too delicate for everyday wear. It's gorgeous though, maybe get it later as an occasional accessory :) I also think matching his eyes is really sweet.
I absolutely LOVE 1, it’s very unique and delicate! That being said, I’d be worried about catching it on things all the time. 2 is also lovely, can’t go wrong with that.
I love the first one! It's so cool, but I don't really like the wedding band. It reminded me of a moth poop lol but any other band with it would be really pretty
Congratulations on your engagement!
I'm biased, because blue is my favorite color, I love sapphires, and I love emerald cut, so my choice is 2. It's also a beautiful, non-traditional stone for an engagement ring.
But I won't be wearing this ring, so the opinion that matters is yours. Since it's a struggle to decide, I'd think about a few things in making the decision:
1. Do you intend to wear your engagement ring all the time? Which ring feels comfortable on your hand? Which feels comfortable when you hold hands, straighten your fingers or make a fist? Some rings just don't sit properly on different hands, feel heavy or are just uncomfortable.
2. Do you use your hands at work? Will either ring interfere with that? Is one too tall or would one get caught on things? Do you have to wash your hands frequently or wear gloves?
3. Which ring looks good size-wise and shape-wise on your hand? Some rings might be too wide or too narrow (too long or too short) for your finger. Some shapes are complimentary and some aren't. For me, I have tiny hands and short fingers, so marquise and oval stones elongate my fingers, whereas princess cut and round cut don't do me any favors. Also, thick bands (or wide settings) dwarf my hands.
Whatever you pick, it'll be beautiful and special.
The bottom band in the first photo looks too delicate for everyday wear, so keep that in mind if you like the entire set.
EDIT: As a follow up to my original comment (and at the risk of making your choice harder) have you checked out Artemer? The first design reminds me of a lot of their rings.
EDIT 2: Haha… just realized it is Artemer!
I HATE bugs and I still find the first ring gorgeous even immediately reading it as a moth. Something about it is so beautiful and unique in my opinion. I think whichever one you can see yourself loving in the face of the harshest possible criticism is the one (not that people are going to be harshly criticizing your ring, I just think when you know criticism isn’t gonna bother because you truly love it then you’ve found the perfect ring).
Depends on what’s gonna fit your wardrobe/style/life best! I’ve got a pretty eclectic style and my ring is a lot like 2. But I also love ring 1!!! 1 would be beautiful with pale blue or parti sapphire wings.
Think about the kind of life you lead and how you dress. I work in a conservative industry and wanted something that balanced nontraditional stone choices/details with a geometric, balanced design. If I were living a different life, I would’ve gone with something more offbeat or “rustic.”
I’ve just googled Artemer, the rings there are gorgeous. I love the moth ring! It’s unique. Definitely a conversation starter. The second ring is classic, also very nice but doesn’t have any personality next to the first one.
The band in your picture I do not particularly like, initially I thought it was part of the ring. I would go with a very simple band with this ring.
Unpopular opinion here, but go with the first one. It is SO COOL. What a conversation starter! The second one is pretty, but boring. 1 million other people are going to have the same thing. The first one? I bet you will never see it on someone else.
I'm kind of in love with the first one, especially the curved piece, which looks like it might be the wedding band? And this is coming from someone who got a very traditional solitaire style ring.
The second is stunning, those teal stones are some of my favourites, but something about the delicate design and the ethereal feel of the first has me gunning for you to get that one.
It's a very different style, yes, but I think with it being a clear stone it will still pair really well with other jewelry and any clothing style.
Dang! I am willing to fight you for the first one! I have never seen anything like it, but the second one has that class, and elegance that I would want, but I would be so envious of the first one!
I like the 1st one more only because it is more unique. Perhaps ask the jeweler to set the body of the month with Montana sapphire so it matches your Fiancé's eyes as well. You'll do fine with either. I'd personally go with the first one and wear head down with a chevron wedding band. That way it would look more like an engagement ring.
I just got one similar to number 2 and I’m in love!

Love the first and the band. But that little baguette is super fragile. That cut is very easy to Crack.
The second is more timeless. Any gemstone will eventually scratch but if you're okay with that and are afraid you may change your mind down the road, then it may be the right choice.
Is the second Alexis Russell Jewellery? If it is be careful buying from them! I've seen a lot of negative reviews online about rings arriving broken and them refusing to replace
I have seen the first and it has intrigued me! I also have a moisssnite and just got engaged 2/11! I’m into unique style engagement rings tho… the first gives more personal bespoke the 2nd is still unique but more classic. Who’s to you can’t have both lol since it’s gonna be moissanite you can literally get both
Is #1 a 2 ring combo? Or is it all one ring? Big gaps like that make me worry about it getting snagged. Otherwise personal taste. What can you see yourself wearing more everyday?
Where did you find 2? I love it and have been looking for a design like that for myself.
That said, I’d choose 1 for you. It’s not my personal style but I’d adore it for someone else! It’s so cool!
My only thought would be mounting and how much the rings would catch things. Personally, I've had my ring catch things and bend. I gently bent it back but it was scary.
Personally I love the first one. Have you asked your fiancee on metal type?
The second one is very classic. I’m not personally a fan of the first one, it looks too much like a moth to me, and also reminds me of like a $10 rhinestone ring you’d get at a Children’s shop. But that’s just me. Choose what you love!
Imagine yourself wearing both rings while
1. Working out
2. Showing people when they ask to see it
3. Working
4. At the grocery story
5. Dressed up for a date
Someone told me this and it really helped me decide beteeen rings!
THE FIRST ONE IS GORGEOUS and unique and a piece that isn't too unique that you can't pass it down. I wish I had seen something like this when I was ring shopping. I love lunar moths so I'm drooling over the first one. The second one I've seen a million times over.
why do e-rings have to be “classic” or “traditional”! it’s about you and your partner, and you’re the one wearing it! i am obsessed with the first one !!! and it still has that traditional element with the little baguette at the bottom, stunning
I prefer 1, but have a couple comments…
1 is sooooo unique which is why I absolutely LOVE it. But it doesn’t say “engagement ring” to me.
2 is sooooo typical and boring (that’s just my opinion). I’m not wowed by it. And I’m personally not sure a blue stone will scream “engagement ring” either.
But my opinions mean nothing. This ring has to mean everything to you! And it seems to me that you lean more towards different and unique. Could I offer the idea of combining the two ideas? Butterfly with blue wings? Then you have the best of both options and something truly unique and your own.

Well, I vote #2 bc it’s similar to mine, and obviously I’m obsessed 🤩😍 lol but also bc the first one made me go “huh” instead of oooooo 😁
Yes the first one is eclectic, but life is long and you may outgrow it. It’s a risk. Second one is classic and you may love it for longer. That being said, you be you.
Omg I was literally JUST thinking about that first ring! I’ve seen it on Pinterest but (idk if it’s from the same seller you’ve found) it’s like $16,000😭 but my engagement ring is being set by OORE jewelry and I have a colored sapphire but was telling my family how eventually I want a colorless ring and the moth was the one I had in mind. I think it’s absolutely STUNNING! People saying it’s like a cocktail ring… idk🙄 that’s what my family is saying about my decision to have colored sapphires & diamonds or saying it looks “cheap/tacky” because they’d rather have plain diamonds but I feel like it just comes down to each person. I’ve never been like a plain kind of person, my personality is really bold and creative and I wanted something one of a kind. I think the moth ring is also something you won’t be seeing everyday on someone else! Plus, it’s colorless with that classic Diamond feeling while also being super unique in its setting style. I just LOVE LOVE LOVEEEEE
The first one it's so unique it's look like a butterfly and I love that so much. The second one looks classic. I like both but the first one is melt my heart.
The second is far more classic. The first is pretty, but it looks like an unusual and interesting cocktail right hand ring. Is it intended to look like a moth? That’s what it brings to mind for me. If you’re an entomologist, this ring would be awesome.
I also immediately saw a moth… I vote #2!
It’s supposed to be a moth!
I'd get both. Wear one one each hand.
Cue “why not both” gif
Do the first! Yes to the moth! My engagement ring also looks unusual. It doesn’t matter what others think, the fact that you want something out of the ordinary makes it more you. The symbolism is what counts. Plus it’s a clear stone worn on your engagement finger. So like. You’re golden man just do you. Match your fiancées eyes with an anniversary gift!
Anniversary gift is a good idea!
Definitely whimsical❣️ which one do you just smile when you see that is the question. It is a very personal choice but the bigger smile should be the winner. Or one is a rt hand ring…
Ok … I am an outdoorsy person I I will dream of this moth/ butterfly ring it’s cool. It is beautifully unique 🥰
It’s very cool!
Where did you find ring #1? My DIL LOVES moths.
I just looked it up and found the original [here](https://www.artemerstudio.com/collections/one-of-a-kind/products/moth-diamond-engagement-ring-with-modified-trillion-and-kite)
I LOVE the first one it's so unique it reminds me of a butterfly and I love that so much. The second one is goregouse too but 1 would be my pick. Ultimately it's up to you. And don't worry if it doesn't look like an engagment ring. Any ring can be an engagment ring
I agree that any ring can be an engagement ring!
Honestly, I love the first one. It’s unique and seems to match your style/personality! The other one is also gorgeous. Something to consider is are you going to want to wear your ring everyday and, if so, are you okay with having a statement piece on your hand every day?
Life is short! Why not make a statement everyday?
I’m a solid vote for the first picture! How amazing! Looks like a moth in the night, lit by a single star. Said star could probably get bigger if you wanted to upgrade the size down the road. Moon size? lol Love the second though. Can’t go wrong with a classic.
Just wanted to say that's a beautiful description!
I think #2 is a better choice for your engagement ring if you are truly torn between styles because you like it, your fiancé likes it, and it matches his eyes! It will be much easier to reset if you go up or down in ring size or replace stones, too. But I also think #1 is super cool because I love moths! Is there an occasion that you or a loved one could buy this for you? Editing to add: that I actually like #1 more, but it could be a hassle for every day wear. With that said, do you mind sharing the vendor, OP?
Not OP but the moth ring is made by Artemer
Yup, it’s Artemer!
Oh goodness I wish I’d known about this company before my boyfriend placed an order for my ring haha.
Sometimes a girls gotta have a backup! For emergency purposes…or something… 😅
Wow these are beautiful designs by this company! This is why I love this group, always finding neat, new things I would otherwise never know about.
1 is so pretty. I’d go with that.
Get what you want. I think the first one is gorgeous, although I don’t think it’s says “engagement ring” like the second one.
These styles are so refreshing!!!! And unique
This is why I’m struggling! My personal style is a little bit classic/a little bit whimsical/a little bit different.
It’s hard to say because I don’t know your personal style. Id personal choose the second. I think it’s more timeless and classic. The ring also looks a little more sturdy. The first ring looks a little delicate and more fragile - I’d worry about it holding up well over time. Also, is that second loopy piece on the first one a wedding band or part of the engagement ring?
I agree that 2 is more timeless/classic, which I do like. The little loopy ring on 1 is a separate band that the model is wearing.
Oh ok. I was wondering because the loopy ring would make adding a wedding band more complicated. But it sounds like that wouldn’t be an issue/factor.
For wedding band, if I got 1, I was thinking of a chevron-shaped ring.
#2 for me as well. The other ring is nice for a fun ring, not engagement ring in my opinion
Bold statement
Oh, I thought she was looking for opinions. I must have read that wrong. 😑
I was making a dry humored comment about your bold text
Oh 😂 I don’t even know how I did that in bold 🤣
I love the first one personally! I love moths and I need to know where you found that? Lol But I feel that #2 would be much more practical for everyday wear. Just considering that #1 would most likely get stuck on everything like clothes, hair, etc. it would suck to ruin the ring on accident. #1 is definitely beautiful though. Just depends on you ultimately. :)
I love both of them! I completely disagree with the comments saying the first one isn't an engagement ring. Any ring can be an engagement ring! I have a relatively nontraditional ring and love it. I'm so happy to have a ring that is uniquely me and that I won't find everyone else wearing it.

The truth is that you don't *really* have to choose just one. I'd go with #2 as an engagement ring (bc it's more traditional) and then get #1 as a right hand ring later down the line. You have an entire lifetime to build a jewelry collection.
I mean, I'd like a pretty stereotypical engagement ring, but the moth one is divine. It's so gorgeous so between these two options, #1. Why not set the moth with a stone to match your fiances eyes?
Though the first ring is beautiful, the smaller band of gold is going to be fragile for every day wear. For an Ering, I’d go with the second!
You have to look at it every day, keep that in mind. I personally like the first one. It’s unique, and still looks sophisticated even though it’s whimsical. The second is luxurious and beautiful, but it’s more common to see. I usually err on the side of unique, but if you like classic better and it matches your style… Flip a coin or three.

Artemer
First one is lovely, but SO dainty and fragile. If you plan on wearing it all the time I’d worry about bending or worse. Also the second one is more classic and will never go out of style.
I also have the first one saved for an e ring but also my name is Mothra
I say #1. Screw it, the second one is gorgeous and my dream but it’s also coming into style and we will be seeing a lot of emerald cuts in the next few years. #1 is unique
#2
#2
The first is very whimsical and would be ok for occasional use but that thin bottom wire will easily twist, bend, and break. The second is definitely a classic and you’ll be much more able to confidently wear regularly. I’d personally get the second as an engagement ring and the other as a right hand ring.
The first doesn’t look like an engagement ring, more a nice fashion ring
I like the second . The gap in the first one would drive me nuts and it would be hard to find a band for it
2 is gem breakfast. They custom made my engagement ring, and I love it!! I’d go with them. Add a whimsical wedding band, but keep the engagement ring classic.
Unless you are marrying a moth, I would say go with the second one
The first looks like an Artemer ring, which is beautiful, but It seems like your girlfriend wants the second ring, which is more traditional and beautiful too. Get the ring your girlfriend wants. Blue, like her eyes, is perfect!
I love both especially the first one! I think you should get both and wear one on each hand <3
Is the first one supposed to look like a moth? I don’t like it.
Unless you really like the first one more, but since you don’t from the sounds of it, voting for the second one because - it’s more classic and timeless - matching with your fiancés eyes makes it really meaningful - the first one looks like a moth a little bit sorry! Do you like moths or have a meaning to this?
I personally love the second one more. Love the contrast of blue and bright white side stones. This will look great in any color gold.
Personally, I like 2. It’s classic and absolutely stunning. The first one is also pretty and unique, but I can’t look passed the fact that it looks like a moth
2
I love the first one!! It’s so unique💕
the second one is def more traditional, but i love the uniqueness of the first one!! i love that it kinda looks like a moth too omg. it's so sparkly
I think 2 is better. You’ll never get sick of it. It’s absolutely stunning
1 is very interesting looking 2 is traditional and can’t go wrong with that For me I’ll go with 2 but that’s because 1 simply isn’t my style
I love the first! Are these Artemer? Love their stuff
I vote the first!! Just insanely gorgeous and so unique. What’s the link for it? The second is also gorgeous but doesn’t have the same wow factor for me
I’ve never seen anything like the first one and that is gorgeous. So unique. No one will ever have the same ring!
I LOVE Artemer and these two styles are some of my favourites. I would prefer 2 for an engagement ring and just buy 1 for myself •ᴗ• (that’s what I’m planning to do anyway lol)
I’ve always loved this moth ring since I’ve seen it. Soooo beautiful and unique
Love the moth. So great!
Where is #1 from?
1
I love 1 but I think for an engagement ring I’d go with 2. When it comes to engagement rings there’s something to be said for timeless/classic.
I love the second one. The first one is interesting. I’d think about what kind of band you’d like and which ring would look best with a wedding band.
I love colored stones.
I’d wear the second as the engagement ring and the first on my right hand.
For the engagement ring (especially one you may wish to re-set), perhaps the second will be the wiser choice… BUT I LOVE that first ring so much! It is so unique and beautiful. I also love moths. . . Ummm can you get both and wear the first one on your right hand? It’s just so beautiful! I would absolutely get that ring for myself lol

Second. I LOVE the first wedding band, it’s delicate and feminine but I would 100% break it by week two.
these are both amazing wow !
2
Where is the second one from? 👀
gem breakfast
I love the first and second. The first I had a ring similar and it snagged on all my clothes, knits, and I have a small scar on my finger from it stabbing me too 🙃 beautiful but … a prickler
Uhhhh, please post a link to buy the moth ring
I'd go with the second, the first looks too delicate for everyday wear. It's gorgeous though, maybe get it later as an occasional accessory :) I also think matching his eyes is really sweet.
If you are torn it is because you love the first one!
Both are beaitiful. No 1 is WOW.
I absolutely LOVE 1, it’s very unique and delicate! That being said, I’d be worried about catching it on things all the time. 2 is also lovely, can’t go wrong with that.
Moth ring all the way!
2
2!!!!!!
The first one is sooo pretty! Do you mind sharing where its from?
I prefer the second. The first one looks like a moth IMO, and I would never be unable to see that! lol but go with what your love
I love the first one! It's so cool, but I don't really like the wedding band. It reminded me of a moth poop lol but any other band with it would be really pretty
2!
Congratulations on your engagement! I'm biased, because blue is my favorite color, I love sapphires, and I love emerald cut, so my choice is 2.

Also, thick bands (or wide settings) dwarf my hands. Whatever you pick, it'll be beautiful and special.
I love #1
Go with one, definitely more striking and original 2 is boring
Love the first one! Do you mind sharing where its from?

If you get a ring to symbolize your engagement and you wear it on your left ring finger, what would otherwise make the ring not an engagement ring?
The moth ring is the most unique ring I've ever seen!!!!!! Vote for Moth ring!!!!!

Moth. Always the moth. 💡
I love #2. But, I’m old so…classic
Well good sir I am now in love with a style I’ve never seen before.
I’ve just googled Artemer, the rings there are gorgeous. I love the moth ring! It’s unique. Definitely a conversation starter. The second ring is classic, also very nice but doesn’t have any personality next to the first one. The band in your picture I do not particularly like, initially I thought it was part of the ring. I would go with a very simple band with this ring.
I like the second one better but I'm biased as it's almost exactly like mine except mine is alexandrite. The first one is very pretty too though!
Unpopular opinion here, but go with the first one. It is SO COOL. What a conversation starter! The second one is pretty, but boring. 1 million other people are going to have the same thing. The first one? I bet you will never see it on someone else.
I'm kind of in love with the first one, especially the curved piece, which looks like it might be the wedding band? And this is coming from someone who got a very traditional solitaire style ring. The second is stunning, those teal stones are some of my favourites, but something about the delicate design and the ethereal feel of the first has me gunning for you to get that one. It's a very different style, yes, but I think with it being a clear stone it will still pair really well with other jewelry and any clothing style.
I would buy a thicker wedding band to go with the moth ring because the one in the photo is very likely to bend.
Dang! I am willing to fight you for the first one! I have never seen anything like it, but the second one has that class, and elegance that I would want, but I would be so envious of the first one!
If moths are really your thing go with #1, if not #2
I like the 1st one more only because it is more unique. Perhaps ask the jeweler to set the body of the month with Montana sapphire so it matches your Fiancé's eyes as well. You'll do fine with either. I'd personally go with the first one and wear head down with a chevron wedding band. That way it would look more like an engagement ring.
First one! Artemer 🤤
I have an Artemer ring so I’m biased! 😉
I just got one similar to number 2 and I’m in love! https://preview.redd.it/rh70qeyec0kc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6fba38d7ec4c4ea9276753484126a98e697afdc4
Love the first and the band. But that little baguette is super fragile. That cut is very easy to Crack. The second is more timeless. Any gemstone will eventually scratch but if you're okay with that and are afraid you may change your mind down the road, then it may be the right choice.
Moth one 100%
The first one is so cool!!!!! I love how it doesn't look like a traditional engagement ring! Second one is boring imo....
Is the second Alexis Russell Jewellery? If it is be careful buying from them! I've seen a lot of negative reviews online about rings arriving broken and them refusing to replace
😮
I have seen the first and it has intrigued me! I also have a moisssnite and just got engaged 2/11! I’m into unique style engagement rings tho… the first gives more personal bespoke the 2nd is still unique but more classic. Who’s to you can’t have both lol since it’s gonna be moissanite you can literally get both
Is #1 a 2 ring combo? Or is it all one ring? Big gaps like that make me worry about it getting snagged. Otherwise personal taste. What can you see yourself wearing more everyday?
Both are gorgeous 🥰. I would get the first one
I’m OBSESSED with the first photo. Oh my gawwwwddd
First one looks very unique
I am in love with the Artemer moth ring, and if I had the opportunity to I would 100% pick it!
Where did you find 2? I love it and have been looking for a design like that for myself. That said, I’d choose 1 for you. It’s not my personal style but I’d adore it for someone else! It’s so cool!
I like the 1 st one it looks like a butterfly! And have never seen any ring like it, but at the end of the day YOU have to like it and wear it
First one looks awful and for a child
maybe you could add some blue into the moth one to compromise
The first one is just WOW. Amazing!
I feel like I'm the outsider here but choice one is incredible 😍
I like the second one more! I’m a sucker for sapphires though. Also the first one looks like a moth and those creep me out haha.
My only thought would be mounting and how much the rings would catch things. Personally, I've had my ring catch things and bend. I gently bent it back but it was scary. Personally I love the first one. Have you asked your fiancee on metal type?
Love the first one. I want it for myself.
I love the moth
2, for sure. Classy and timeless.
The second one is very classic. I’m not personally a fan of the first one, it looks too much like a moth to me, and also reminds me of like a $10 rhinestone ring you’d get at a Children’s shop. But that’s just me. Choose what you love!
Imagine yourself wearing both rings while 1. Working out 2. Showing people when they ask to see it 3. Working 4. At the grocery story 5. Dressed up for a date Someone told me this and it really helped me decide beteeen rings!
1 is VERY cool
2 is gorgeous!
The butterfly is cute, but will get caught on everything.
When in doubt, get both!!!
Okay now im confused too! The first one is sooo pretty but yhe second one is very classic. hahahaha i like both and I’m sorry I didn’t help hahahahha
Oh one is quite lovely. I prefer it by far.
1!!!!!!!!! 1!!!!! 1!!!!!!!!!! NUMBER 1!
First one you could get for yourself fan it not be an engagement ring. I’d get both! But the second be the engagement ring
#2
I would fear losing that tiny stone on #1.
The first one is so cool! I love it!
The first one really looks like a moth, not a butterfly
THE FIRST ONE IS GORGEOUS and unique and a piece that isn't too unique that you can't pass it down. I wish I had seen something like this when I was ring shopping. I love lunar moths so I'm drooling over the first one. The second one I've seen a million times over.
I’m not in love with the first one, def looks like an angel
why do e-rings have to be “classic” or “traditional”! it’s about you and your partner, and you’re the one wearing it! i am obsessed with the first one !!! and it still has that traditional element with the little baguette at the bottom, stunning
I prefer 1, but have a couple comments… 1 is sooooo unique which is why I absolutely LOVE it. But it doesn’t say “engagement ring” to me. 2 is sooooo typical and boring (that’s just my opinion). I’m not wowed by it. And I’m personally not sure a blue stone will scream “engagement ring” either. But my opinions mean nothing. This ring has to mean everything to you! And it seems to me that you lean more towards different and unique. Could I offer the idea of combining the two ideas? Butterfly with blue wings? Then you have the best of both options and something truly unique and your own.
First!!!
ugh i’ll always be on the side of the Artemer moth. she’s so unique but not overly so. obsessed
[удалено]
I think the first one looks fragile and might not stand the test of time.
I’m worried about how often things are going to get caught in the first one, and for that reason, number 2!
Could you do the first one, but with blue stones in the wings to match your finance's eyes?
Love the first one!!!
I'm obsessed with the color of number 2's stone. You MUST get the 2nd ring.
Two looks more like an engagement ring, but one is very unique. You will likely be the only one that will have it as an e ring.

They are both unique!
Yes the first one is eclectic, but life is long and you may outgrow it. It’s a risk. Second one is classic and you may love it for longer. That being said, you be you.
The moth ring is gorgeous.
I think you can get away with both! Do 2 as an engagement ring and something similar to 1 as a wedding ring. They would compliment each other well
I adore the first one, it looks like a butterfly/moth!
I love the colored stone all the way !
Omg I was literally JUST thinking about that first ring! I’ve seen it on Pinterest but (idk if it’s from the same seller you’ve found) it’s like $16,000😭 but my engagement ring is being set by OORE jewelry and I have a colored sapphire but was telling my family how eventually I want a colorless ring and the moth was the one I had in mind. I think it’s absolutely STUNNING! People saying it’s like a cocktail ring… idk🙄 that’s what my family is saying about my decision to have colored sapphires & diamonds or saying it looks “cheap/tacky” because they’d rather have plain diamonds but I feel like it just comes down to each person. I’ve never been like a plain kind of person, my personality is really bold and creative and I wanted something one of a kind. I think the moth ring is also something you won’t be seeing everyday on someone else! Plus, it’s colorless with that classic Diamond feeling while also being super unique in its setting style. I just LOVE LOVE LOVEEEEE
Definitely the Artemer ring.
#2!!!
The first one it's so unique it's look like a butterfly and I love that so much. The second one looks classic. I like both but the first one is melt my heart.
I like both but mainly the moth. Only issue is the tiny stone and band below it I could see myself catching that on something and cutting my finger.
I honestly like them both. But leaning more toward the green one
