Diamond shopping is so stressful... So many choices and factors!

Anyways, I've been online shopping and stumbled on this diamond.
https://www.fourmine.com/index.php/...ce=rarecarat&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=2017

It has a 2.7 HCA rating, which I'm okay with due to the attractive price.
My concern is the inclusion on the edge of the diamond.
Would you think that it would be a problem with chipping or breakage when setting this diamond?
Would a jeweler be able to cover the inclusion with a prong or would you think that it would be too risky?
If it helps, the plan is to set it in a halo setting.

Any comments or recommendations are greatly appreciated!

[edit: my post is based on your first message] Not of fan because of the cut and proportions. Not able to give you any recommendations about the inclusion risks of you selected stone. The pro will be able to help you. But I can share my 2 cents with you. In your price range, you can afford better performance stones if you are OK with a lower carat weight or color grade:

Good luck!
