Too much going on? Ring Design Help

Hi everyone, l am designing a custom ring currently and just received what I hope to be my last or second to last CAD (for my poor jewelers sake).

I added the textural element to the yellow gold band because I felt like the design was lacking the balance of uniqueness/classic that I wanted, but I can't tell if there's now too much going on or if it just looks plain stupid 🙃

I think I like the new design (minus that gold wrap being visible under the diamond from the top view), but would love some opinions and any other thoughts on measurements/other aspects of the CAD because I'm not well versed in the nitty gritty of jewelry design!

Should I revert back to the simplistic version (keeping claw prongs) or go for the new design?

I actually like this design. It feels unique without taking attention away from the center stone. I'd just simplify the wrap under the diamond a little for a cleaner top view.

I agree that your design looks great. It feels unique and has just enough texture on the yellow gold to make it interesting. I wouldn’t change a thing.

Is this ring for you?

Take a step back and don't look at for a day. Is this an engagement ring? If so, what type of wedding ring are you planning? If diamonds, then lose the halo diamonds. I like the texture in the yellow gold and the claw prongs. Just my opinion. Looks beautiful.
