As part of the Valentine's Day marketing effort, BuzzBallz will auction off this large, nine-carat lab-created pink diamond. The non-traditional engagement ring is housed in a "custom, bedazzled mini BuzzBallz mold modeled after the Pink Lemonsqueezy container." The starting bid for the Pink Lemonsqueezy engagement ring is $2.14, which is significantly lower than the valuation of the jewelry piece, which is estimated to be $35,000. The initiative is framed within the company's characteristic over-the-top brand personality, with a portion of the auction proceeds designated for a charitable cause related to heart health.
