What size bezel to buy for a princess diamond that measures 5.5mm???

[Strauberrychick]

Just hoping for a little guidance.
I have a 1.12 carat — 5.5mm princess cut diamond I wanted to put in a bezel setting but not sure if I buy a 5.5mm or I need to buy 6mm to ensure it fits??

this is the setting I was looking at

You should ask the mods to move this thread to Rocky Talky for more responses. click on "Report Concern".

And generally speaking, I think bezels should be custom made around a stone rather than finding a pre-made bezel to fit around a stone. But I'm no setting expert. Others should have more opinions.
