I am afraid you won't be finding its authenticated or certified Hindi equivalents easily, simply for the reason we have not developed various specialized glossaries on each and every subject of life as has been done in other languages, which have got numerous glossaries on different topics.
However, I am just trying to help you by means of consulting various resources and coining some words myself for the above terms in the given context as per my common sense:
Crown - It means upper part and hence perhaps be translated as SHIKHAR/SHEERSH/OOPREE BHAAG
Girdle - BAAHREE BHAAG/BAAHREE KINAARA/GHERAA
Pavillion - It is the bottom part, therefore TAL/NICHLAA BHAAG might be suitable.
Of course, this is a guess work

'Chhatra' for crown, 'Mekhla' for girdle, 'Shanku' for pavillion
These could be the nearest meaning to define physical shape of a diamond, may not 'beautifully'!
