The second has more potential but there is not nearly enough light. It should be possible to evenly distribute the light as to show all the detail including flaws as well as show off the luster.
If I had to choose between the two I would say the second. If I were to sell it using these photos I would include both as neither one seems to tell the whole story.

I prefer images that are more accurate, SECOND IMAGE even if they are not more attractive.
