Cyber Shoppers say I DO!

It was recently reported that an online jewelry company sold a $300,000 diamond using a mobile app. Apparently smartphone purchases happen quite frequently and range from a few thousand to tens of thousands of dollars! A recent survey said that two-thirds of smartphone or tablet owners have used their devices to make purchases. So we’re curious… would you make a large jewelry purchase using a mobile app?
