Shape
This refers to the physical appearance of a diamond. There are a variety of shapes such as Round, Princess, Cushion etc. Each diamond has different characteristics but as to which is for you that is completely down to personal preference.
Carat
The carat refers to the weight of a diamond, not the actual physical size as is commonly believed.
Colour
The colour grade actually refers to how colourless a diamond is. Diamonds at the higher end of the scale will be colourless thus appearing white. While lower graded diamonds will have visible colour instead of a white appearance.
Clarity
The clarity of a diamond refers to how many inclusions or imperfections a diamond has. A diamond with less inclusions will sparkle more, meaning it will be a higher grade and will be more valuable.
Cut
The cut of a diamond will determine its overall brilliance (Sparkle) The better the cut, the better the sparkle.
Certification
