Buy the stone first, then look for a setting.
You really want to focus on the cut. Next is color, then clarity. A flawless cut from GIA is what you want. The only reason to look at DEF stones is for investment purposes. Even an experienced diamond broker can't tell an H from an E without a very close side by side comparison between the two stones, or to a refrence set of stones. DEF is a suckers play, you're doing wise to go with GHI.
SI2 is fine, just look for the inclusion and see if it can be hidden behind the setting.
