I agree with this. Additionally, the petals on the new version appear to "cup" less (hope this makes sense) and the stem lacks the bamboo detailing.
What to get...?

Sorry. This is what it makes me think of.
But remember when I first tried the Magic Pendant on, this is what I saw:

Have some issues quoting:
The old version lotus ring, which I purchased earlier this year, can use some re-design ideas to make it more comfortable, but obviously they did not work on that too much. Somehow, it fits well on my left hand, but not that comfortable on my right hand.

Thank you for sharing! I was wondering if the leaves were the problem because they curve down? As in, in some pictures I see the pointy tip of the leaves poking in a little on the skin? The new version seem to have flatter leaves, albeit less 3D
I am thinking the leaves seem to fan out more in the older design making it more likely to poke into the skin whereas the newer design is less angled, which I like. The newer design, whilst less intricate, has a flatter shank (stem part). Even though chunkier, I felt it was slightly more comfortable. But this comparison is from memory because they no longer carry the old version for me to compare.
The image of jar jar binks keep coming to mind after BBC's post . But I agree, I prefer the older design in this regard. The raised centre is also something I'm not sure about. Looks like I'm now inching towards the watch.
Today I went to the store and tried on the lotus ring for fun. I think I can get over the lack of bamboo details and the less curly leaves, but the thicker metal around the five small diamonds still bothers me a little. That said, it really is such a beautiful ring...

You wear the ring so beautifully! The pictures are so clear as well. It is still a gorgeous piece. When I tried the ring on swiveled out, I wore it upside down (compared to your picture). I think it looks much better the way you wear it. The leaves seem to curve harmoniously towards the flower. What do you think of the way they ended the stem? Does it feel unfinished to you when the ring is opened outwards?Today I went to the store and tried on the lotus ring for fun.

Check out this Boucheron btf ring from the new Ivy high jewelry collection too.
I'm a bit apprehensive about the new VCA lotus design. I like it but don't LOVE it.
