Okay, so I''m SURE this has been covered many times before, but after doing SEVERAL searches and looking FOREVER, I can''t find what I''m looking for. Here''s my question: I have a setting that takes a 6mm x 6mm square shape center stone (prong-set). I''m wondering what is the MAX difference from that that you are really able to do. For example, could you use a 5.96 x 6.01? Or does it have to be within so many .0? mm?? Right now I''ve got a princess sapphire in there, but I''m thinking of replacing it with another sapphire (with more brilliance) or even a radiant-cut diamond...unfortunately, in the color(s) I like, many times, these aren''t exactly square (or exactly 6x6mm if they are square), especially in radiants.
I know I should probably ask a jeweler, but before I did anything more than search around and look, I thought I''d find out from here if anyone knew how much difference you really could do inside of a setting.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

(I also asked this in colored stones thread because I''m mostly looking at colored stones, but I hoped that by putting it here too I''d get more responses
