Hello everyone,
I would like to ask for advice on whether to reset or not reset my recently acquired fancy light brownish yellow diamond. I apologize in advance for the long post. I’m sure lots of members are familiar with this stone and her prior settings (I hope it is OK to use the prior photos here, most of them are on this site in different threads):

When I saw the photos of the ring in the preloved, I immediately thought the stone had to be mine and—definitely back into the bezel—but I love bezel settings and have never considered owning a simple solitaire setting. I will be honest, if DK wasn't busy and had answered my email immediately it would be at his shop for reset--but the world is closed and I am still working and needed some sparkle--so I decided to wear it for a while in the current setting. The stone is a beautiful buttery light yellow in most lighting conditions and does pick up colors from its surroundings—brown on the wooden box--yellow on my very pale skin—my photos don’t really do it justice-a very sparkly, lively stone.
The ease and stackability of the current solitaire is making the current setting grow on me, I will admit. I am not in a rush to make a decision on this and wanted to ask for input on how other members decide to reset or not reset. Other rings I have reset were an easy decision as they were inherited and were in dated settings that had to go. This one is more difficult—not my typical style—but does look nice... I am currently wearing it stacked as in the photo above as a RHR. If I reset it, I would be thinking of something like an art deco hexagonal bezel in two tone +/- side stones. Any advice is appreciated.
