Can this be set with a princess?

I have one jeweler saying its possible, but they would have to use this head...

They are a local jeweler.

I have another jeweler saying its not possible... That jeweler being White Flash.

Can anyone else shed some insight? I really like this setting, but I have already purchased a princess.

My next step was to contact David Klass and see his input.

The head you showed is rather different to the one on the ring because it has an emerald cut shape - it has 2 stones on each corner de-emphasising the square shape.
This means there will be a big gap along the edges of your princess - most people would not like that.
The gap would be larger than if you used the shape in the first link designed for a round stone.
Why not choose a square head?

Can you elaborate more on the round head?

I am not a jeweler, so I don't know enough about this stuff to make the best decision. I basically want my current princess to fit in that setting if possible.


Basically I purchased a VS2 .52 carat diamond in a princess cut, but im past my return date... I purchased it and liked the diamond itself, but it just didn't seem big enough, but to be honest I cant afford an 8k ring right now. So I may have to cut my losses and sell my .52 and pickup another stone that fits that setting.

I have a basic 18k white gold setting that the ring is in.

It might be possible if you choose the correct head. The jeweller who showed you this:

selected one that is not for a princess cut shape but for an emerald (clipped corners instead of pointy corners). If you can get one with the pointy corner, it should fit.
