EBay, the world's largest online marketplace, and Brides magazine announced a joint competition in with a sparkling first prize – a $25,000 diamond ring.
According to MarketWire, the "Build Your Bling" contest invites women across the United States to design their fantasy diamond ring. The best design will be made a reality in the form of the one-of-a-kind diamond ring, worth up to $25,000.
Contestants will be asked to use the eBay Diamond Ring Designer to create their ring. The Designer will enable them to customize their design by selecting specific attributes, including the 4Cs (cut, carat, color and clarity.)
"The Diamond Ring Designer underscores our commitment to innovate across the Marketplace, using technology to develop and deliver an exceptional shopping experience," Lorrie Norrington, president of eBay Marketplaces, told MarketWire. "Through diamonds.ebay.com, we're bringing quality, selection and value to the online diamond buying experience, enabling savvy shoppers to design and purchase exquisite diamond rings with confidence and convenience."
The lucky winner will be announced on February 26. Two runners-up will also be chosen and awarded an eBay gift card for $100.
