Me again! Lol! Which pendant for this necklace chain?

[CSG]

I am very bad this week. Bought so much and cannot stop just starting with my jewelry collection.

I am choosing for a letter C pendant for this yellow gold 18 inches chain

Please help me again

1st

This design in 14karat yellow gold. Fully covered with diamonds in front. 1 inch height.

Is it too flashy because it is fully covered with diamonds?

2nd

This design in 14karat yellow gold. Partly covered with diamonds in front. 1 inch height.

It is really hard to tell the first one without seeing real life photo. however, one thing that stands out is that the pendant in the second photo may not go well with the chain. the plain metal edges make the pendant appear harsh, which is inconsistent with the slightly busy looking chain. This same pendant may go more nicely with a thin, plain looking chain.

Between the two! I like the first one better. if you examine the photo more closely, the pendant is not 100% covered with diamonds in the front. it has only a few more point size melees (tiny flashes, that's all). In real life, it may not look as flashy as the photo indicates. even so, a little bit more sparkles does not hurt. Besides, the milgrain finish makes it more refined and feminine, and consistent with the slightly busy looking chain.

in terms of the bale, I think the thinner one in the second photo goes better with the design in the first photo.

Appreciate your response Christiflora You have really good points. I also agree with the bale. Thinner one would look better.

I wouldn't pick either one since they both look like the letter 'e' to me, not a 'c'.
But if I had to choose I think the first one looks a lot nicer, I don't like the plain flat metal on the 2nd one.
