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.
What setting are you looking at? Perhaps a site that has photos of diamonds has a similar setting (or can make it).
I appreciate your advice on brilliant earth and have decided to stick with James Allen. I was wondering if you could offer your feedback on a few diamonds that I’m looking at? My search is for a 0.70 Carat H-SI1 or SI2 Excellent Cut Round Diamond. Here are the ones that I was looking at:
