Is the wife entitled to take the value of the gold set that her husband promised her before his death, even though he did not pay his debt, especially since he left an amount equivalent to the value of the debt and another inheritance, and is this considered a debt upon her that she has not forgiven him for?

What happened with your husband was merely a promise of a gift to appease you, and he should have fulfilled it for you. Since he passed away and did not fulfill his promise, you have no right to claim this from his estate. Rather, your status is the same as that of the other heirs.
