I meant by that the rings don't enhance the gauntlet, or give more power, or give new abilities to Garnet or their fusions. They are purely aesthetic, not made to be weapon or weapon enhancement like Bismuth's upgrade. I never said they can't be "paired" with the gauntlet though.

For the upgrade, they were made for Amethyst, Garnet and Pearl specifically. What use could have Sugilite's flail with Amethyst's whips spikes ? Where would they appear on the weapon since the edge of the whip is paired with Garnet's gauntlets ? That's the difference I pointed. Volleyball's ribbon can't be like the rings or the upgrades because it doesn't just appear when Mega-pearl is there ; it is combined and used like a weapon.

However, the fact that Pearl can be customized with pattern can apply to the weapon, so maybe all Pearls' weapons can be customized as well (even the kind of weapon, which can be similar to tools, as Volleyball was interested by fans). So maybe the reason the debate can take place is that Pearls' summoned weapon can be totally customizable, unlike the other Gems.
