My e-ring was my great grandmother's and while I love it I am thinking about having the stone reset into a halo setting.  I would like to have a pearl if possible set into the old setting.  Is this doable?  The setting is an antique fishtail (four larger prongs with a smaller prong on each side of the large prongs).  This picture isn't very clear.  If a pearl isn't possible I will probably go with a semi-precious stone instead.

Well, why not, really.  The prongs will not be holding the pearl (most likely) - it will probably be set on a peg as usual (somehow) and the prongs could be bent around it as if.  The whole thing sounds a bit unusual, but I am pretty sure than a search for "pearl in prongs" will prove me wrong as fast as one can say "Google" ! 

Nice ring, btw

Btw. I am no expert.  It could be that the setting is completely unfit for the above opperation.  This, only your jeweler can decide with the ring in hand to evaluate.
