What is the "actual" size of the casting

I've read the reviews. Everyone has stated that 5x5mm stones don't fit.....but no one has stated the "actual" size of the castings. What is the actual size? Thanks.

Answer: 
I ordered these for a set of stones I purchased from JTV. Those stones were originally listed as 4.5x4.5mm and were facetted. I noticed after I my stones shipped, JTV changed the size to 5x5mm. When I measure them at home, the stones are 5x5mm, and they fit right into the castings just fine. I think the issues might be the initial dropping the stone in - the open windown is about 4mm on the front, but if you drop a facetted stone in and it happens to land at an angle on its side it may work its way through the front open while you try to straighten it. Think about trying to put a piece of glass cut for a window through the open. You can do it if you get just the right angle on it. I simply dropped the stone in while holding it over a cleared surface, then used my tweezers to poke up through the front window and position the stone.

Answer: 
I had luck with 5mm, 4.8mm, 4.5mm you definitely need a square cushion and look for a pair that have rounded corners. The more of a sharp square corner the 5mm have the more problems they will create. With the 4.8mm & 4.5mm any type of corner will work even a Princess cut. On the smaller stones just make sure to push the tabs down a little bit all the way around so the stone stays centered, then continue to push the rest of the way down. I have even mounted a 4mm in these but takes a little practice. Hope this helps my JTV friend.

Answer: 
Getting the stones to fit probably depends on the way the cushion-cut gems are shaped - curved on the sides, etc. You may want to order them and try them out on your stones.
