From the Web site, below: "Magic Size - People tend to prefer certain sizes over others. These Magic sizes also greatly affect the loose diamonds price. For example, a 1.00 carat stone is considered to be a magic size. If a loose diamond weighs .99 carats the price per carat will be much cheaper than one of the same color and clarity that weighs 1.00 carats. In this case it is not the rarity of the stone but people's preference that dictates the diamonds price. Not even the most experienced diamond dealer could tell the difference between a .99 carat diamond and a 1.00 carat diamond yet the price is significantly different."
