hello :) nice to meet you all!
have never really posted in the jewellery section before since am not much of a fine jewellery person. But considering that I'm 21 and starting a new stage of my life soon, I want a ring to mark this time. I lurked about and found two options:

CHANEL CAMELIA RING

18k white gold, onyx and diamonds.
price: £720 (if my memory doesn't betray me...).

DIORETTE RING

I know they are very different in the price range and right now I am leaning towards the camelia ring, mainly because it's more "wearable". However, I do love the colourfulness of the diorette and think it goes better with me.

Any feedback would be amazing :) specially info on which is more value for money since I am a TOTAL newbie on jewellery...

I like the Chanel one because like you said, it's more wearable. The dior one is too colourful & it doesn't look like an expensive ring.

sputnik · Jun 15th, 2008, 01:27 PM

the chanel. it's more elegant and versatile.
pretty choices, btw. i don't usually like dior or chanel jewelry but i think both of these are very cute, and i especially love the chanel.

the chanel without a doubt

Lvbabydoll · Jun 15th, 2008, 04:00 PM

The Chanel is gorgeous!
The Dior is pretty too, but it looks a lot like Juicy Couture's Garden Party pieces:

The Juicy stuff is gorgeous

I went to the Nordies site but the ring is sold out ><

I think I might get the bracelet, are you getting any Rebecca?

My Purse Addiction · Jun 15th, 2008, 04:39 PM

The Chanel is so classy and definitely more wearable. It's absolutely beautiful! The Dior is fun and cute, but it seems like a ring you'd get tired of after a while. My vote is for the Chanel

Babydoll Chanel · Jun 15th, 2008, 04:44 PM

And to the OP, I think the Chanel is an all-time classic and you can never go wrong with anything Chanel!

Vanillinae · Jun 15th, 2008, 05:49 PM

thanks all for your replies!

it seems unanimous then! I have tried both on and I was really quite sure I would get the Chanel in the end but just needed that extra push haha. I'll be visiting this vintage jewellery shop first though, just to be 100% sure since this will be a special ring for me :)

As for the Juicy Couture ring... when did JC jewelry get so cute??

I will definitely hunt that ring down! grrrr!

harleyNemma · Jun 15th, 2008, 05:53 PM

I think the chanel is a better value overall - especially if you plan to wear it frequently. I also think it will be something that would be a "classic". Enamel work can be rather delicate so I would caution against the Dior.

beana90 · Jun 15th, 2008, 11:15 PM

I vote for the Chanel....it is a beauty!

mcb100 · Jun 15th, 2008, 11:23 PM

I vote for the Chanel. It looks very classic, and something about it reminds me of old hollywood glamour.

Not sure, I'm more into the charms right now, and these are kinda pricey for me right now.

Hope you get the Juicy ring, Vanillinae!

Cedes · Jun 16th, 2008, 02:37 AM

Vanillinae, post pictures when you get it.. it's gorgeous :)

I also really love the Dior.. it's deceptive, though; they use real stones in there but it's hard to tell!

love the Chanel Ring!
