    Oh I know it's just Leonid's opinion and I wouldn't let that put me
    off, but I think it's a shame that someone would talk someone out
    their choice of stone shape for such an emotional purchase as an
    engagement ring for example. Yes, warn them of the problems involved
    and that they may be faced with stone replacement/repolishing in the
    future if they are heavy handed or offer an alternative, safer
    setting for a princess cut but if it's someone's favourite shape
    then I would try to accommodate that if possible. 

Just my personal opinion.
