Just had the most gorgeous time being glammed up and photographed for the January issue of Red Magazine due to hit the shelves early December. Red were looking for fabulous women late 20s – early 40s who are changing the face of the way we shop. They decided that Rent Your Rocks was a perfect candidate for their piece….Rent Your Rocks is changing the way we shop by allowing everyone access to real diamond jewellery at a fraction of the cost to buy it. It means that diamonds can be EVERY girl’s best friend – in fact the slogan on our packaging says ‘Welcome to your new best friend’ We will of course remind you nearer the time – but don’t forget to the January Red Magazine and read all about it!

RYR Win Best Business Initiative

Claudia Winkleman presents award

Last week RYR found ourselves at the finals of the 2010 UK Jewellery Awards at Grosvenor House Hotel, Park Lane, London. A very very sparkling event. Imagine the best of the the jewellery industry all in one room wearing their finest Rocks! Add to that a chandelier lit stage with a back drop of hundreds and thousands of tiny sparkling lights – we were truly dazzled! It was a really fantastic evening presented by the gorgeously effervescent Claudia Winkleman.

Rent Your Rocks was up for the award of Best Business Initiative. Founder Sophie Fulford was grilled ‘Dragons Den’ style by a panel of judges a few weeks ago. Her competition for the award was Adorn London, Cred Jewellery, Keanes Jewellers and QVC. Rent Your Rocks.com were announced as the winners – we were so proud and so happy to be the winners of such a brilliant award at this prestigious event. The Winners Brochure produced by Retail-Jeweller.com wrote this about Rent Your Rocks:

‘A fabulous idea, cleverly executed and with great margins, said our judging panel. The judges loved how this business had evolved under its managing director, the fifth generation of the family to run the parent company, retailer Winsor Bishop, of Norwich. The concept of renting super-luxury diamond jewels to women for parties and weddings is a superb one and they loved the visionary attack of this entrepreneurial leader, and her smart execution of a wonderfully simple idea. Her passion for the growth of her business, her clear strategy, five-year plan and ideas to expand this concept bowled them over. “Wow,” said one of our judges of this brilliant businesswoman when she left the interview panel. “She is realistic, but gifted and adding real value to her business.”

Calling all friends of Rent Your Rocks! Please Vote for us?! We would love to be the proud winners of the Sheerluxe Online Shopping Awards 2010. Just click on the link and find Rent Your Rocks under ‘Best for Wedding Jewellery Online’ in the Weddings section.

Last Saturday saw her wearing a stunning Herve Legere black and white bandage dress accompanied by Rent Your Rocks ‘Illusion Set Diamond Drop Earrings’ (Rent for £205.00 a week). We happen to know that she felt like a million dollars wearing them! They’re back at Rent Your Rocks safe and sound and ready to go on their next adventure.
