Let me know if any other specs are needed. Trying to determine if these two pear stones would be good matches for the sides of a 3-stone ring

Stone 1: 0.11 ct., 4.09x2.71x1.62mm, Ratio: 1.51, Table 60%, Depth 59.8%

Stone 2: 0.11 ct., 3.96x2.67x1.62mm, Ratio: 1.48, Table 59%, Depth 60.7%

Would these differences be visible to the naked eye? Or am I splitting hairs over a few mm..

Hi! I currently have a 1.7ct (8.06x6.5mm) H-color elongated cushion, 1.24 ratio (attaching Loupe photo). Originally planned to do a solitaire, but now really considering pear side stones. I'm not a fan of many of the modern designs I'm seeing on Google, but I love the antique style attached. I know I won't be able to exactly recreate as my stone is not square cushion, nor yellow.. but looking for advice as I'm not that familiar with pear cuts:

First, what carat size should I be looking for to best match the antique design? According to that listing, the side stones are .60 tcw., but they look quite large if they really are .3 carats each with a 5 carat center stone. I am now trying to find 0.10-0.15 ct side stones ~2.7mm wide.

Second - what ratio do those pear side stones seem to be? To my eye, they look pretty similar to 1.48-1.53 ratio, but I'm not sure.

Finally - I'm a big fan of warm stones. Would it look good if I also used H-J color pears on the side? I'm having a hard time imagining /wondering if I need a noticeably different color for the side stones. Should I go with a higher color (F/G) stone to create contrast?
