Based on certain criteria, there may be several 'perfect' diamonds. The cut Cullinan diamonds, the Hope Diamonds, for example, are 'perfect' in their own ways.

Gem-stone quality diamonds are ranked according to cut, colour, carat weight and clarity.

Only two of these four criteria have 'top' rankings: Flawless clarity, and D colour for white diamonds, Fancy Vivid for coloured diamonds.

Carat weight is what it is: perfect by definition.

Cut perfection is a matter of judgment, and will vary depending on the cutter's ability to maximize the other three variables.
