Design question about two rings

[Mreader]

I have two questions about two different rings. The first is my three stone. I go back-and-forth between resetting the center diamond in a different setting. If I were to do that I would still keep the setting and put a different stone in the middle probably some sort of colored gemstone. My question is would it have to be a round stone or would it be able to be changed to accommodate a square shape? I am showing pictures of the side of the ring and the front so you can see.

The second question involves a pink sapphire ring I have. This may seem like a dumb question and I doubt it can be done but is there anyway to raise the gallery somehow? Or do something to it to make it rise off the finger more? It’s a bit tight now because my finger size changed slightly after I had a baby and it’s not comfortable on my right hand. And it’s just really flat against the finger and did not know if there was a way to change it. Pics below the 3 stone pics.

TIA

The only dumb question is the one you don't ask

I actually love the profile of the pink saphire ring but if its uncomfortable what's the point ?(that's what shoes are for)

I used to be really into shoes
But i cannot afford a Bruce Springsteen habit and a shoe hobby !
I use those gel inserts for some

I took a real tumble on a high wedge heal in down town Wellington once - at the traffic lights at lunchtime
Its kind of made me weary

And i discovered i don't like the extra 3 inches of view from up there !

Oh yeah in Europe and with cobblestone - forget it. When I'm over there nope to heels.

the first question- i think it can accommodate a different shape, but the person to really ask is the bench/ jeweler that you are going to be working with.

2nd Q- there are 2 further questions here as i am not sure if you are asking
1) comfort to wear the ring. if so, i think resizing work for you.
2) it still needs to be taller/ higher off your finger to make it better for the aesthetics? then i suspect a new head setting (?) is what you are asking. then ask a jeweler.

For me yes it’s aesthetics because it looks so flat on my hand and the fact that it’s more snug makes it look even flatter. But a new head I assume be way more trouble than it’s worth!

Maybe instead of a new head (which I'm not sure is possible with this setting), the jeweler can retip the prongs instead?

I think I had to have that done for one of my pieces. I had a gem that was like 0.2mm too wide for the existing setting. So if I remember correctly, my bench lengthened each prong so that they could bend out further. But then the stone also had to sit a bit higher.
