Dear Craig,

    Take a deep breath, and order a 6.5 mm setting. 

    If you take a little extra time to do the project correctly from the
    beginning, you'll have a far easier time of it, and a better looking
    end result. 

    In my experience, setting a stone in a too-big setting results in
    the stone looking like it crashed into the piece, because the
    setting is all buckled in around the stone. 

Just my humble opinion.
