It's interesting that all of you are choosing the peony! That will be less guilt-inducing too! :p

It would depend on your style....for me personally I would go for the peony ring because it can be worn everyday and with jeans and also dressier clothing too. It would look lovely with a pretty summer dress. The lavender and diamond ring to me is for dress up only so it really depends on your style and how much wear you want out of it.

I was thinking of it as a right hand ring on my ring finger. Maybe in regular rotation? I'm asking the jeweler's associate to wear both in photos since she has small hands like me.

I think the peony is more gorgeous but as a carving I wonder if the edges will be prone to chipping? I know jade is quite tough but I've also had gemstone rings chip before from too much knocking around.

Hmm I haven't thought about the chipping.

Wow too cute all the Hello Kitty pieces!

The Peony ring is more unique one of a kind. The cab ring is a timeless classic. Unless the cab is your ultimate dream cab, I'd say go for the Peony ring now and later the cab ring or one like it can be a gift for 'fill in the blank' occasion. ;-)

That's not a bad idea...I'm not sure if it's my dream cab as color is hard to capture in photos. I think the cab ring catches my breath more, but probably due to the diamonds. The peony is more unique but I'm not sure if it's a bit much for the office. Hopefully, a pic on the hand will help me decide.

Thank you for the sweet well wishes! Good luck with Allan! He's been so elusive that I've been tempted to buy earrings or a bead from his Etsy shop just to finally have a jade piece created by him! ;-)

Thanks Jade4Me - He usually takes 1-2 weeks to return one email and recently both emails said he was going to check for me which means more waiting lol! Prior to this there was an email sent that took almost a month before I heard back and I pretty much gave up but I want something made by him and so I am trying to be patient ;)
I think once everything is settled I wouldn't mind the wait as much but it's getting the commitment kwim?

Have you been wearing Mooncake and Brown Sugar much? Those have to be one of my faves on this forum. Also with Mooncake and Brown Sugar I know they are nephrite but I would have difficulty determining if it was jadeite or nephrite as it looks like both to me:)

I would rotate in Moon Cake & Brown Sugar, but not until my thumb scrape heals, LOL! I rotate through my nephrite bangles regularly, but not as much my jadeite D-shapes. My jadeite princesses get worn much more than my jadeite D-shapes. I still love them and will pull them out to consider them, but most times will pass them over to wear a nephrite one. Maybe later my preferences will change...who knows! ;-)

Again good luck with Allan and looking forward to seeing what you both come up with. Custom work is so exciting for all of us! ;-)

If they don't mind you sharing the mod shots of both rings, would love to see them on this thread, too! ;-) It does help to see rings on a hand.

Is the pendant small? Maybe layer it with other HK pendants?

Meant to tell you that your earlier post of nephrite and pearls is gorgeous! I love how the pearls are bezel set in the silver metal. I was obsessed with pearls, too, before jade. ;-)

Thanks Jade4Me! Pearls have kinda been replaced by Jade beads, now I have a really bad Jade bead addiction lol[emoji5]️

I hope your hand heals soon. It's in a bad place too, but at least you have been able to rock a beautiful bangle on that wrist [emoji6] I know I'm looking at it the opposite way lol [emoji4]

Oh gosh... so hard to choose! I feel like the peony is more unique visually, but more casual. Easy to dress up or down, though.

However, like SilverMom says, the cab with the diamonds is elegant! The diamonds make it more eye-catching, so you would have to be prepared for more attention, maybe? I think it would be the perfect right hand ring. I can see this with jeans and a nice top, or in fine dress.

Thanks so much! Here's a pic of one of my later pearl necklaces along with my new bangle Kiwi. It's South Sea pearls knotted on dark brown leather cord, attached to a sterling silver chain.

The peony ring is big and bold on her hand! I personally like it, but only you know if that look suits you. The cab ring is no doubt a timeless classic and doesn't look too big on her hand IMO. Good luck deciding - they are both gorgeous!

Tough choice. From just the sellers pics I definitely would choose the peony. It looks fun and pretty. On the hand the cab and diamonds looks so elegant and the size works perfectly. The peony is a wee bigger than I thought it would be whereas the cab and diamond suits the bigger size. I think it if were me I would still choose the peony but when I read your post about the cab taking your breath away it sounds like you have a preference:) Go with your heart.
