Is Diadori a good brand?

I saw a great setting today at a B&M but have never heard of Diadori. A PS search didn't bring up anything. It's a very delicate setting and I want to be sure it will hold up.

I'm sorry. I had to look them up. I know nothing about them. This is the first I've heard of them.

Do you have a picture (or can you find a picture of the setting online) and maybe we can see if we can find something similar. Or even just evaluate the design ?

I've been looking too - Cherie Dori, an Israeli designer.
I never in a million years would have picked this setting from photos, but when I saw it in person, it was a lovely piece. The wire basket that holds the diamond is rounded on the bottom and supported only at the top by the 2 points of the shank, so the diamond is sort of suspended in the setting. The wire & shank are much more delicate than they look here. The entire diamond is visible in the setting, which I love. The setting I saw held a 1ct stone which filled the basket and looked just right. My stone is .89.

edit: oh shoot - this link doesn't take you to the ring, but it's on the
third page, 2nd down on the far left. You can click on the image to see a 360 video.
another edit! I "chose" the ring by putting it in the bar at the bottom of the page, so there should be a link there as well.

It does look like a nice setting. How much is the setting?

Glad you think it looks nice. It's about $1500.

Actually the design is by Israeli jewelry designer Nelly Cohen and Cheri Dori is the trademark name.
