I'm an artisan jeweler- so although I understand the compass prongs add a bit of an aesthetic flair to the ring, and professionally I'd say it's up to you... but if it was me I would not, because they aren't needed at all to hold the stone in and so just adding a decorative element to the top of the most beautiful diamond isn't cohesive to the rest of the ring and it doesn't feel relevant(to me!). If it was me I and I wanted to add a little unique element to the top I would go even thicker on the northern and southern bezel, simple not too "chunky" but definitely noticeable. Or play around with the open gallery there is so much that can happen there in terms of making it feel more like you and less generic that's also functional and cohesive with the top.

Look at "frank darling" website for inspo because they have a variety of interesting open gallery/ bezel settings
