I think you would be OK with your first proposal, for two reasons:
1. Soldering two layers together, increases the thickness by a little more than just the sum of the parts.
2. If you aim just to cover the girdle of the stone when setting, the table will stand a fraction above the surface of the metal. so you won't need the whole depth of the stone.
You can prove all this by experimenting with copper before you commit.
The real mystery is why you are not just adding a thicker patch behind. It does not have to be by much and it can be quite small, maybe in the shape of a heart, or a star. A secret only the wearer will know about. Dennis.
