I have had my e ring for a little over a year, and the other day while in the car with my FI I was looking at it. I held it up and was able to MOVE my center stone (princess cut). It was wiggley and giggley all over. I put it away and we took it to the jeweler the next day. He said that becuase the square stone only has four prongs they tend to get loose. He fixed it on the spot. He said to check it every few months to see if it is held tightly in the prongs!
I just wanted to warn anyone with a square stone.....check you ring!!

Egad, I have a Princess cut. Oh well, just something to keep my eye on.

I heard no matter what stone you have you should get it checked every year. just to make sure that none of the stones got loose. I had a pave set stone on my band that fell out a month after I got the ring. thank goodness it was a chip and they replaced it for free.

I too am an 05'er but wanted to say that mine gets loose too! It happened a few months ago and I took it to get it tightened but now its right back to how it used to be... LOOSE AGAIN!! When this happens it also makes the stone look different!
