which one do you like best?

Question

i have two good friends that i'm painting things for for christmas..
i'm stuck as to what i like best though (i have planned them out in my computer graphics program as a guide)

the jewels dangling under the canvas (go to both links)

the jewles would be hung by small hooks on the sides of the canvases (which are like an inch think canvas sides)

keep in mind that this is just a quick slap together of things just to get the initial look. i copy and pasted a bunch of stuff like the cross and crown and fleur de lis onto the backgrounds that i colored in photoshop.
anyway
just tell me which ones you like
1 2 3 or 4
and as for 1 and 3
which type of shape do you like (the strings are different on each)

or just tell me if you don't like the jewels on there at all and thing it's too much

it just wanted to try something different and i have personally never seen this done before

Answer 1

Second one has some nice tension to it. I'd go for that. The others aren't that exciting.
