So I bought those earrings recently. I got them with the intention to have them reset in a bezel rose gold setting. Something robust I can also wear when being outdoors and active. Well, they turned out to be really nice - even though the stones are very different, one a true and probably older OEC with a bit of a messy pattern and high crown and incredible thick girdle, the other a late OEC or even transitional with a nice flower pattern and a bigger table. But both very sparkly. The setting is so unique and I’d feel bad to take it apart. However, the stones are set so high, that I am scared they are too exposed and could fall off and they stand out quite a bit, which looks... well, unusual. Certainly nothing robust, like I wanted. But what to do? I remember a thread from someone who had a similar high set stone on a ring and had it lowered - can’t find it now. Would that be a solution? Or do the bezel setting anyways? 
! I already brought them in in order to get an offer of what a new setting would cost. When they called, I told them I’d just pick them up again as they are. Thank you all for your advice. It’s the right thing to to. Bezel setting can wait - I’ve seen lovely ones at Jewels by Grace (thank you for the hint!) but they are either sold out or a wee bit out of my price range
