Probably stands for "platinum"
I must be psychic. Part of the noble metal series, pricey, catalyzes many reactions but is itself unreactive, considered to be elegant by many people and profitable by jewelers.
This is a crystalline form of carbon which has very interesting physical properties, but the majority of larger examples are actually used for purely decorative devices.
When a piece of the above mentioned substance forms into one solid crystal, it is often cut, polished, and mounted as a "gemstone", which is simply a piece of a somewhat rare mineral that is attractively displayed.
Total Diamond Weight: 0.97 carats
Weight ranking. 1 carat = 200 mg. The higher the carat value, the pricier the diamond, both because of the increased amount and the difficulty of finding large enough crystals that are sufficiently well-formed.
Number of metal prongs that hold the diamond in place.
A measure of the largest edge-to-edge distance on a circle, used to indicate size.
By using a modified form of an inclined plane mounted on a solid rod, mechanical torsion can be massively amplified into axial force. Commonly used for attachment.
Total metal weight: 1.5 Gram
As the carat defines the size of the diamond, this defines the amount of metal. Platinum is trading for ~$1460 an ounce on the global market. Chances are the price you will pay is somewhat higher.
"Stones" is a boring and unflattering term for "diamond" in the trade. Don't worry, you won't get a chunk of granite or anything.
The number and orientation of the facets of a diamond, as well as the smoothness and quality of each facet. This is a somewhat subjective measure, so saying the cut is "good" is almost a worthless piece of information, but generally speaking the closer to an "ideal" cut, the more brilliant the diamond will appear due to internal reflection. The diameter in mm of a round brilliant cut diamond should be about 6.5* (cube root(carat wt)).
Impurities in diamonds change their color. Some colors actually command a premium, others reduce the value of the diamond. The GIA color scale ranges from "D" to "Z", where D is colorless and Z is very yellow. J is "near-colorless".
Measure of inclusions (defects). "I2" is included, visible under 10x magnification, and not a very high rating.
"rounds" is the plural of "round", since there is more than one diamond. "Round" is a less technical term for "circular".
Self-explanatory.
