What shape stone to use for shared prong with square cushion?

[Incognito2]

If I am going to set a square cushion into a shared-prong e-ring, whould I look to use square stones (liek princess) or will round stones be ok? I am not sure which way to go....

Oh, here is a pic of the stone so you can get an idea of the shape....

My vote would be definitely round melee - they sparkle more and the most neutral in the band to set off the unique shape of a center stone.

Another vote for round melee - lovely cushion!

I agree, I would go with round stones. Your stone is absolutely gorgeous by the way!!

Thanks to everyone who responded (and for all the compliments on the stone

)....it looks like RB is the clear leader...even though the stone is "square", it still has the rounded corners so I guess that the rounds won''t look strange next to it. Now I have yet another dilemma....see other post:
