[Jewelry] Which is better?

I'm getting one of these as a gift, that much is decided. Which is cooler? And of somewhat less importance, which is more practical?

Price is the same, I think.

Brooch:

Ring:

what kind of jewelry does the person wear? For example, I like rings but I am running out of fingers to wear them on. both are cool, but I would vote for the ring personally. I don't wear brooches.

I'd wear the brooch before I'd wear the ring just because I can see the ring catching on stuff due to the way it's shaped. But I tend to be uber-practical that way, and don't wear jewelry anyway, so maybe you shouldn't trust my opinion.

i agree with MHS, it depends on what this person does. If a ring would get in the way I would get the brooch.

Definatly the first one the ring is too wierd looking. I mean hell that would stand out like a mofo anytime you wore it.

I agree with MHS. The ring would get stuck on things. There's nothing worse than wearing a slinky black dress, and getting a snag in it from your ring...makes a woman want to

Another vote for the brooch, the ring would be getting caught on things all the time I expect.

For that design, I would vote for the brooch. Nothing against rings, I just think the design might look a little odd on a finger. But, since you presumably saw the ring on a finger

you might have a different opinion. And I would definitely be more worried about snapping a wing off on the ring.

Sorry, dude, neither one looks very manly - if I were you I'd regift or find out where they bought it and return it. Who decided to get you fruity jewlery?

My first reaction was "why the hell would a man wear a brooch?" How metrosexual can one be before he falls into the cross-dressing category?

The only jewelry you'll ever need....

"For the fashionista gangsta who wants to have all of his or her bases covered, the Bling Bling medallion from Chi Ha Paura melds together virtually every corporate logo they could think of into one gold plated talisman that is most definitely guaranteed to piss off Naomi Klein."

My first thought was "that ring would get caught on stuff." Then I read the other posts and I guess I'm not alone. Go with the brooch.

It's a gift for the old lady. I guess I should have said I'm giving one as a gift.

I had similar thoughts about the ring being kind of awkward. I'm sure it would bend easily too. I just don't know what a brooch is for. Just a pin you wear?

Odin · Post by **Odin** » Thu Oct 21, 2004 8:42 pm

Basically, yeah. It's just decorative.

You could always go for the medieval ring-brooch and kill two birds with one stone.

If you've got the budget, I got a small brooch, maybe about the same size as your dragonfly here, but a bumblebee made of rubies...

My wife is into jewelry big time but rings is her thing.She wears 8-10 rings at a time when she goes out and changes them frequently.(always has different combinations)She doesn't care for brooches.

Where is Prince Albert in this?

Brooch.

Went with the brooch. It was only a bit larger than the ring, which is perfect. I was thinking it was some big clasp meant to hold a jacket shut or something. It's more just a decorative pin.

Because of travel and a wedding we're going to, I'm going to give it to her today, a few days early.

In a can, I think.

Not any more. Some kid called and said I'd better let him out.

The Prince Albert I am thinking, conjures a whole new imagery when it is in a can.

No way I'm doing that.

she'll love the brooch but the ring would be better for smacking people with ...
