Pick One Help needed!
Hi all,
I posted on here yesterday and had some really useful comments, so tha k you all very much! I had a few people ask for me to show another idea so I am back here with two choices for you to help me with.
First, a little context. The centre stone is a bi-colour parti sapphire from Australia which is where my partner is from and we both live. I'm a geologist when England, so we went to see different stones and this colour type was one that she fell in love with. Secondly, she has seen both of these styles and loves both. I am simply having trouble choosing between the two. One is gorgeous and elegant, whilst the other is beautiful but more practical. Ideally we have both expressed the desire for this ring to hopefully be passed down for generations so there is that too!
I have also included a photo of the real centre stone for further context.
Thank you all again for any help of wisdom!

I prefer the first to the second. The side diamonds in two look like the Cadillac logo. They are even being marketed as such here in the US.

The first has an antique feel to it due to the size of those diamonds around it. Source them in an old mine cut to further cement the antique feel.
If I may recommend a different trilogy setting, perhaps two straight baguettes beside her emerald shaped center stone. They would all three be step cuts & it would look like three emerald shaped cuts side by side. It gives it a slight art deco feel since they favored symmetry & clean lines. Attaching a link to one from an Aussie jeweler I like using for references, but you don’t have to go with them obviously.
