    I'll second that, if the customer isn't "dead set" against it, offer
    to replace the (IMO) inadequate setting with one more suited to a
    princess cut stone. 

    I have just delivered a cathedral style engagement ring with a 1
    carat princess cut diamond, and I over ruled my customer wish to have
    a four prong setting (I expect quite similar to what you describe) in
    favour of a four pronged corner setting (similar to the H&S Tru-seat
    range). 

    I'm very happy that I convinced him of the superiority of the
    setting eventually used, stones are expensive and so is my time, so
    if I don't have re-do anything on this ring for a few years (I expect
    I might have to re-size it or something one day down the track) I'll
    be all the happier! 

Cheers, Thomas.
