Weight:

Carat is the unit of measurement for the physical weight of diamonds. One carat equals 0.200 grams or 1/5 gram and is subdivided into 100 points. For comparison, in units more familiar in the United States, one carat equals 0.007 ounce avoirdupois.

Shape:

While some cut names may describe the face-up shape of the finished gem, others refer to the shape and arrangement of the gem's facets. These cuts are also known as gem cutting styles. The three most basic cutting styles are brilliant, step, and mixed.

Clarity:

What is the Best Diamond Clarity Grade? The highest clarity grade for a diamond is FL, or flawless. The GIA only ever grades a diamond as flawless when it has no inclusions or blemishes that can be seen by a skill grader, even if it's viewed under 10x magnification.

Color:

The color grade is more important than the clarity grade because cushion-cut diamonds tend to retain a lot of color. ... Because of this, you can go as low as SI1 or SI2 on the clarity scale, and the diamond should still appear flawless. If you are shopping for a radiant diamond, prioritize color over clarity.

Cut:

What does Diamond Cut Mean on a chain? Diamond cut literally only means that the jeweler has cut small notches into the metal links. These small cuts are then given a high polish to increase their sparkling reflections.
