I''m looking at a spinel that is a rather squatty oval. It is about 8mm x 7mm. I''ve been primarily looking for rounds and cushions, but the color of this one caught my eye. I''m just not sure about setting it and I want to find one I can set. This would be my sixth or seventh stone in the past few months and I haven''t had any of them set yet.

Any prong type setting made for a round stone will fit this type of oval, also known as a "roval" for round/oval. With antique bead set type settings you can often carve the setting to fit the stone, but bezels can be more of a problem. Got a picture ?
