Here is the ring
http://www.belljewels.com/Aquamarine-Princess_Cut_Blue_Aquamarine_Matching_Ring_Set.html
the setting is unreal for the price, antique looking but the stone is kinda too big for my taste and protrudes, do you think a jeweler can do anything with this so the center stone doesnt stick out so much, even if it means putting a smaller stone in it which actually 1 ct would be perfect.
Most jewelers would not want to work on a prefabricated ring. If it doesn’t come out the way you want it, they will be liable for modifications of the ring.

You’re so funny! Most women want the bigger stone!!! The answer is yes, if you take to a jeweler they will have other stones available for you to choose from. There may need to be additional modifications in order for the new stone to properly fit.

I’ve worked in the jewelry industry for so many years and looking at the type of setting that you have there the answer is no. the setting you have is built for a 1.65 which is the size of the center stone and anything smaller then 1.50 will not fit. you see the head (the over all top that holds the center stone in) is built into the ring and cannot be taken out. this kind of head is nondetachable.
you should of asked if the ring came in a smaller carat size but other then that there is not much you can do here. you can possibly ask the jeweler to set the center stone as low as it can possibly go but thats it.
was this ring purchased online or can you actually go to their location to see if there are similar settings such as the picture with a head that can be changed to a 1 carat size.
i’ve included a picture to show you what i mean with a setting where the head isn’t built into the ring and can be changed for a larger or smaller head to accommodate whatever size stone you desire.
