    Hi Beth, In a setting for round stones, it shouldn't really make a
    difference. On the other hand, when I make settings for oval cabs, I
    will put the post toward one end or the other, so the earrings will
    tend to stay in a vertical orientation when being worn. If the posts
    were in the center of the settings the earrings can rotate, which
    might look odd with a pair of ovals. Since I don't have any pierced
    ears, I can't try them on for effect... 

All the best,
Dave
