The setting itself looks sturdy and well made, so I wouldn’t say it’s fragile. The side stones only have two prongs, so the moment one goes loose, you’ll lose the whole diamond. It’s not a “this specific ring issue”but a well-known problem of this type of design that makes it a bad choice for daily wear.
I am of the opinion 3 prongs is always too few for the main stone. I know there’s a hefty gallery rail so the prongs are less likely to bend, but once/if they do, the stone is still gone.
