Carat weight: 1 carat = 200 milligrams = 6.5 mm diameter. Doubling weight doesn't double diameter.
Diamond clarity: FL/IF/VVS/VS = super expensive, near perfect. SI = best value if you can check a photo for obvious inclusions (defects).
Color: D-G = colorless, expensive, only if you have money to burn. H-J = best value. Can go lower in gold metal settings than white metal.
Cut: Better cut ratings let more light into a diamond, making it sparkle more. Very important property, don't skimp here.

Let us not be too particular; it is better to have old secondhand diamonds than none at all. Mark Twain .
If you're buying blind on the Internet, then VS1 clarity is really the minimumclarity rating you can go for without running a significant risk of picking up a diamond with visible inclusions. The chance in color between any neighbouring colors in the D-E-F range can only be detected in a specialist laboratory environment, meaning this F color diamond is indistinguishable from diamonds rated only one color grade differently. The girdle of this diamond ("Thin to slightly thick") has an influence on the diamond; don't ignore it completely. If you're looking at this diamond and considering whether to improve other characteristics of the diamond which don't affect size, think about downgrading the 1.55 carat size of this diamond.
