I bought the Schlumberger 16 stone ring in rose gold this week. I am having second thoughts and wondering if I should have bought it in platinum. What do you think is more beautiful? Showing the ring on my hand.

It looks amazing on you. I prefer the RG and YG over the platinum. I love the contrast. I vote for you to keep this.
I think this design works best with a contrast between the Xs and the icy white of the diamonds. This one is beautiful on you!
If you have more rose gold pieces, then I think I would keep it in rose gold. If you have more white pieces, then I would do the platinum.
For me, I went with the two-tone version, because I like how the X stands out a bit more. I also think it’s a very classic look.
In an ideal world, I would have gotten the sixteen stone ring with alternating yellow diamonds in two-tone. But that version was either all yellow gold or all platinum. I forget. The alternating stones are only available in one metal.
I would go for the platinum & YG two-tone version as well. I agree with @sosauce, the Xs pop, and the combo is iconic.
I'm not a fan of the RG; the color has a tinge of copper/orange against the skin. RG is also not "iconic" Schlumberger (he mostly used YG and, every now and then, platinum); RG is "trendy" Schlumberger in my opinion... food for thought.
This is the two-two version I am referring to... it looks fabulous and will stand the test of time.

Everyone will have a different opinion. Jewelry is so personal. I’m not a fan of two tone anything, and I think the RG is very nice on your skin. Also not a fan of the WG, but that’s bc I stopped wearing it lol.
Ohh, this discussion is reminding me of the rare or limited edition variations of the 16-stone rings.
Maybe 4 years, there was the alternating pink diamonds in rose gold. And also the alternating yellow diamonds in (I think) yellow gold. Just a few were made, and each one was individually serialized. The price for the yellow diamond version was also quite nice from what I remember.
The other rare version I can think of is the alternating emerald 16-stone ring. Not sure why that one was discontinued.
Otherwise, the options I’m aware of are the current offerings: ruby, blue sapphire, pink sapphire, and tsavorite.
I wonder if there were any other limited combinations? Like demantoid, tanzanite, paraiba, alexandrite, spessartine, etc. Some of those combinations feel very “Schlumberger.”

Jewelry is very personal and I don't buy things based on resell or giving it to others completely because styles cycle and what may be a piece that you love to death and have a super low cost per wear may not be someone else's. If you don't wear rose gold then switch it out but if you love it, keep it and enjoy it. I personally think hat it looks lovely on you
I’m planning to get this ring this year too! But I am getting the YG/platinum because I like how the X’s pop more (same as what others have said — the YG is more Schlumberger). I’m usually a RG person but not for this ring.
I love the rose gold on you. Suits you very well 
I tried on the gold 16 stone ring today (size 5.5). I'm worried that my knuckles will grow larger with age so not sure if I should size up. (I'm 32). Do people find that their ring size grows as you age? If yes, by how much?
