My first two Hermes scarf rings are the bolduc (square ribbon design) in paladium hardware and the round regate gold one (it looks like a chain). I wanted something to thread the tails through...something simple. I later got the chain d'anchre design (looks like a big chain link) to try other ties: criss cross and half bow. I have one in paladium and one in horn. MaiTai collection has several in beautiful horn, lacquer, and mother of pearl. I have quite a collection of those! (You can still style your scarf in a half bow without needing to use a ring.) The mors was the next one. I needed to practice using this one, but it is easy to use when you get the hang of it. I like this one, too, because it looks like a piece of jewelry is incorporated into the use of the scarf. To be honest, you should start with something simple, and if you like using scarf rings, progress to other designs. My next wish is the trio ring. (That would also be a good first to try. It looks like you can do several different ties with it.) Hope this helps! Sorry to be off topic.
