Hi everyone!

I’m celebrating a soon and wanted to get myself something nice. I tried on a few pieces - all of which are beautiful. I’m having a tough time deciding. Hoping to get a second opinion on which looks best on me. Any other advice (wear/tear/longevity of style) would also be greatly appreciated!! Thanks in advance! Pictures below

It think it depends on which finger you wear the ring on.

In the photos, are those the fingers for each ring that you will buy?

For instance, I think the regular size Clash looks wonderful on your middle finger and the Alhambra looks great on your ring finger.
The small size Clash doesn't look as substantial on your pointer finger and the Panthere may not suit your pointer finger or may look better on other fingers. (Just my first impressions on looking at the photos, please don't take it too seriously)


If the photos are not representative of the finger you intend to buy the ring for, then which finger(s) are you looking to wear the ring on?
 
Since your vote system has "something else", I personally think Mallion Panthere ring will look good on you, based on your hand pics!
(maybe partly I'm eyeing on one hee). I think the ring will pop better on you, not because of the diamond but the texture of the ring design. This is based on comparison with the 3 rings you've tried.
The non diamond version is super nice too.

Voted “something else” bc I feel you have to choose what makes your heart sing just looking at, thinking of, remembering before falling asleep etc. And these styles are so diverse, almost the opposites of each other…
Wearability-wize, the plain gold Panther ring will scratch. A lot. But Panther is a classic Cartier, the symbol of Cartier actually. But in pavee’d or enamel version, not the small plain gold version. And it is also quite widely duped/copied/inspired by. So, unless you really love the plain gold cat head, I’d really leave the Panther for a later time, when you might feel comfortable to purchase the upgraded version if you love the collection. I‘m afraid you might feel underwhelmed by the small plain gold version when the newness wears off.
The Clash is the most recent collection, so its classic style longevity is yet to be determined. I love the peculiarity, the absolutely unique design of it. On you, I prefer the small ring - the medium on small hands looks a bit “chunk o’gold” from a distance, almost bijou-like, although the spike details are more pronounced on the medium. I chose the small for the more “private” factor rather than a show-off piece of jewelry. Absolutely love it.
The Alhambra is not my personal style at all. The onyx is in theory quite cumbersome as it doesn’t like much water, soap, acids, etc. It can also break from a nasty fall. However, some people claim they basically don’t take their Alhambras off without a problem. Others though comfirm the accidental damage they did.
The “something else” could be something else interesting and uncommon: the Ecrou by Cartier, or, say, the Ultra by Chanel (it is also a “soft” chain design which is peculiar in itself)

Thank you for your input! I was hoping to get something for my middle finger or index finger. I do agree with your assessments - perhaps it’s why I am having a difficult time choosing. They’re all beautiful and I think seeing the beautiful photos and posts by others had me thinking I would love them all on me too. However there isn’t one that really made my heart sing though.

Thank your for your input! You made great points! I think I just loved all the pieces on others so much, unfortunately some of them didn’t give me the wow factor I was hoping for. I think I’m leaning towards the small clash bhf need to think about it a bit more. Like you said it should give make my heart sing. My love bracelet and trinity ring did when I bought it. Perhaps I will have to consider other options :)

Thanks for giving me some clarity!

Thank you! That is beautiful! I’ll have to see if I can try it on in person.
 
I really love the Panthere on your tapering fingers, he absolutely steals the show from the others in a stealthy, slow-burn way.

He's also statement Cartier without being flashy and will be so versatile.

I actually really like a lot of the Clash, but the line can't compete against such classic beauty.

thank you! The fact that I could see myself wearing it with different outfits was what drew me to it the most :smile:)
