30-Carat Yellow Diamond Fails to Sell in Online Auction

Post by PinkDiamond »

Surprisingly enough, the main item featured at this auction failed to sell, and some other items didn't go for their anticipated sale prices, while some others exceeded them. Since online auctions have been doing so well over the past few weeks I'm surprised this yellow diamond ring didn't sell.
