The record so far for Amazon has been the $118,000 watch and they have been unable to top it. They had a $3 million natural ruby listed for a few years but it had to be pulled off as no buyers came forward to purchase the pricey gem. But now Amazon is back with a precious stone and hope to better their previous record many times over.
They have put up a certified diamond worth $914,045. The diamond is in the heart shape, has a good cut, 8.00 carats, D color and IF clarity. It will be appropriate here to explain the technical terms for those interested in the stone. The diamond is accompanied with a diamond certificate grading report from the GIA.
A Good cut is next to the Ideal cut where cutter strikes a balance between cut and carat weight retention. The color D is the highest color grade denoting the diamond has no tint of color which is very rare.
