So we've decided that
your Diamond isn't broken, chipped or cracked.
We've decided that it's inclusions inside the Diamond that are rearing their ugly heads.
We've decided that it's because you didn't care too much about the quality when you bought the Diamond. You were probably more concerned about it's brilliance, sparkle, size and price tag!
This is not a great position to be in, thousands of people do it though.
Resolve the Issue
Take it back to the Jeweler, explain to them that you are not happy with the Clarity of the Diamond because you can see inclusions with the naked eye and ask them to view other Diamonds of similar Clarity to find one that does look better, or just upgrade it towards a Diamond that does have a better Clarity than the one you bought.

Now that you know about the clarity and visible inclusions, you'll actually spend more time and money looking at them closer. It's a tough lesson to learn, but most people are hasty in choosing a Diamond in the first place, and only open their eyes when they feel jilted.
Upgrade your Diamond
I would advise spending a bit more money and upgrade to a higher Clarity Diamond, like the SI1 Clarity Diamond. The inclusions in an SI1 Diamond are smaller and you won't be seeing them with the naked eye no matter if the Diamond is sparkling clean or not. You'll be saying goodbye to cloudy cracked-looking inclusions and hello to a clean life-filled Diamond.
Microscope
Always scope your Diamond BEFORE you buy it. That way, these unexpected flaws won't be showing up when the brilliance and sparkle settles down. This isn't something a new bride-to-be wants to worry about. Plus she'll be sad that the Diamond she was proposed with, is ugly and full of inclusions and had to be exchanged.
Don't make this mistake. Buy a good Clarity FIRST and you'll save yourself lots of grief and marriage woes later!
