I found a setting that I love, from a company online that seems – based on reviews – to be reputable and have excellent reviews. My one concern is that based on my budget, I’m looking at buying an SI2 diamond and as far as I can tell, I have no way of seeing whether or not the inclusions will be visible.
This is what I’ve been looking at:

Do you have any thoughts or feedback on my situation? I am open to other suggestions!
Thank you in advance!
We have no ‘solution’ other than to recommend another site. We highlight the problem in our Blue Nile review.
