Oh dear, your conclusions do not help at all (for my wallet), but I LOVE LOVE reading your super helpful thinking process. Thank you so much for spending the time helping out! I agree with you: BOTH sets will be perfect. Now I am hoping for winning a lottery, or have to work 1000% hard, LOL. Well, at least that’s my goal now.
Well, my thoughts...
I love love love the WG pave because all you see are diamonds, no metal. It is all about the diamond sparkle which I love in this ring. The pink sapphire is nice too as it highlights the gold and pink sapphire, so it is more of a beautiful colored stone ring to me, not so much a "diamond pave" ring. It's preference of course.
So... what to get?
If you are not matchy matchy and love the sparkling diamonds, the WG pave is the bomb for this ring (my humble opinion of course). You cannot beat the fire of diamonds set in a white metal (platinum/WG).
If you are matchy matchy, then I would get the matching pink sapphire ring just to make a set.
The question really is what your priorities are... a blingy ring or a matchy matchy set.
What would I do?
For me, I am really really matchy matchy, so matching sets always take first priority for me when possible. I bought Lotus earrings only to match the Lotus ring, even though I don't really like the Lotus earrings. That said, if I already had the pink sapphire earrings and was going to buy the ring, as much as I love love love the WG pave version, I would sacrifice and get the pink sapphire because a matchy matchy set ranks higher in priority for me. To me, there is nothing more beautiful than a matching jewelry; it just adds elegance to the most casual outfits. That's just my opinion of course.
But... what would I really do?
You may think I'm crazy, but I need to share my full my thoughts so you can think through all options...
If I already had the pink sapphire earrings, and I just discovered the WG pave version and love love love WG pave, I would get the WG pave ring and then the matching WG pave earrings for a super blingy set. The pink sapphire version is a very different look as I am sure you know. I see nothing wrong with having both a Frivole pink sapphire and WG pave. People collect Alhambra, and it's the same motif, just different stones and metal, so why not Frivole if you love it?
Which brings us back full circle...
If you are not matchy matchy, I would get the WG pave ring. The WG pave is 100% all about the diamond bling. There is nothing to compete with the diamonds; no RG metal, no pink, nothing. The WG pave is two gorgeous heart-shaped flowers, blooming and sparkling in all its glory! Can you tell how much I love this ring?
Anyway, just my two cents. I wanted to share my thoughts and hope it was helpful. Either ring will be lovely, both are gorgeous.
It's about preference and priority if you have to work with existing pieces. Good luck!
In fact, I also have the frivole mirror YG earrings. So now the question becomes: will I also need the YG mirror BTF ring? Haha
