Hello! I've been lurking and browsing these boards for a while and was hoping I could get some help. For our 10th wedding anniversary we are getting me a colored gemstone to put in my original engagement setting. When we first got engaged, I had a half carat diamond in a plain cathedral setting from Whitehall at the local mall since I wanted the ring asap and that was the biggest we could afford (without getting a horrible looking stone). Shortly before the wedding we had some extra funds and put my stone in a new setting with side stones, since keeping the same center stone was really important to both of us.
Well, I've had my original setting in the safe for almost a decade now and wanted to make use of it. This setting originally held a stone sized 4.20 x 4.19 x 3.3mm. How wide of a stone do you think I could fit in this ring? I was thinking of maybe doing a 7x5 mm oval.
These are some of the stones I've been looking at. I'm still pretty unsure about what to get. I'm interested in ovals mainly so I can get more size and still fit the width of my old setting. I'm really liking blues, greens, and purples and stones that have some kind of color shift:
