I'm trying to pick between two SI1 diamonds for a bezeled solitaire diamond pendant. Both are "eye clean" from 10 inches away with the diamond facing up.
0.546, F, SI1
Many small inclusions scattered around the top of the diamond.

0.616, I, SI1
One major inclusion, a feather that seems to be from the girdle and runs underneath. I cannot see it in the video here.

Questions:
1) Should I worry about the 0.616 feather? Will it affect everyday aesthetics or affect the diamond's durability?
2) Can the 0.616 feather inclusion be covered with a thin bezel from the pendant (thin bezel as in about half of the pavilion is exposed, similar to Tiffany DBTY solitaire bezel pendant style)? The diamond is supposed eye clean when facing up, but I wonder if it is eye clean from the side with the feather?
3) The 0.546 has multiple small inclusions that I can see in the video. Is it generally true to say multiple small inclusions are better than a big inclusion? Would this 0.546 therefore be the safer choice?
4) Is a color I diamond too "yellow" for a solitaire diamond pendant? Is a color F diamond overkill?
Thanks for any thoughts and advice on my questions!!!
