Heart and the Ring

The RNC Photograph photo works are the two photos above. In the first photo (above) I tried to take pictures of the ring with the lighting above the ring, whereas in the second photo (below) I took a picture using a ring flash lighting from the camera or from the front of the ring. I am confused which one is better, so I uploaded them so you can comment on the photos, and tell me which one is better.
Thank you,

RNC Photograph
