A little over a week ago, I came across Diamond.com, and I noticed its coming soon page. When I scrolled down, I saw a message indicating that it was owned by a company that has been in the diamond industry for many years. The last time I heard about Diamond.com back in 2018, it had plans to become a cryptocurrency exchange.
A Whois search at DomainTools led me to a screenshot showing a Saw.com “for sale” landing page. I reached out to Saw.com CEO Jeff Gabriel to ask if the domain name was recently sold, and he confirmed the sale of Diamond.com was brokered by his company. He let me know the company planned to announce the sale publicly after the Dubai Domain Days conference.
That announcement came this morning on X:
🌟 Big news from Saw(dot)com! We’re thrilled to announce the sale of Diamond(dot)com! 💎
This achievement was a labor of love, with our own @thebrokerbrooke and @JeffreyMGabriel working tirelessly to make it happen. Over a year and a half in the making, this transaction…

Because I spotted the sale so soon after it transacted, I was able to see that it was still actively listed for sale on GoDaddy with a $7 million USD asking price:
I asked Jeff if he could share the sale price, but he was unable to share it with me. Jeff confirmed that Diamond.com was sold for 7 figures though. Perhaps the sale price will be shared some time in the future.
I am looking forward to seeing who acquired Diamond.com and how this exceptional domain name will be used.
They could of had DiamondGift.com for a lot less money 😉
used to see it listed on epik back in the day for about $3M
