Hi PSer's. I'm expecting these 3 french cuts to be delivered any day now. Usually I have a fairly good idea of what I want as far as a setting but I'm really struggling as I want to do these stones justice.

They are small. The sides are 4.2mm and the center is about 4.8 (not sure exactly what size it turned out). Anyway, I love the look of this ring below and was thinking I could put the three stones in bezels like the center but I'm not sure if that will work since all of my stones are square. I'm also wondering if I will need to add something more to the sides of the side stones. My finger is a 5.75. Do you think I could do the three stones in the square bezels like below and then add small rectangular bezels on either end with a few tiny single cuts? Also, should I have a tri-wire shank or something just plain? I'm told that bezelling (is that a word) the three should total across about 15.6 but really 15.2mm allowing for the bend that the ring will require. Is that enough? Or do I need the side rectangles added? Any other setting ideas are also welcome. I appreciate any input you can give.
I found this one with rounds and I think the bezels are too thick but perhaps I can work with it to make it something a bit trimmer?
