Sky News Intervew

December 16th, 2009

DSC00806The Rocks Team had a great day being interviewed by Sky News.  They wanted a fun Christmas story about people that Rent Their Rocks for Christmas Parties and Christmas Weddings.  We had a great time and had one of our members who had previously rented some rocks for her wedding and enjoyed the experience so much that she wanted to discuss options for her 3 upcoming Christmas Parties.  She tried on some Rocks and decided that she could really glam up her favourite Little Black Dress with some Rocks and sparkle at each party.  Luckily each party is with a different set of people so maximum value for her Rental – working 3 times within the same week’s rental!

Tiaras?

September 25th, 2009

tiarasWe’re frequently being asked about why we don’t hold Tiara’s in our collections. It’s funny, because the enquiry isn’t based on that person wanting a Tiara, they just are curious as to why we don’t have them.

Well…. here’s the answer!

RYR’s colleciton is all high end, high colour diamond, pearl and gemstone jewellery, we do not carry costume jewellery in our collection. The WEIGHT of a real Tiara is too much to bear.
Platinum is a very heavy & durable metal, so is gold (although not as heavy as Platinum)
Diamonds, when clustered together, are heavy too.
The combination of these two in large quantities leads to something incredibly heavy, which needs to be balanced on your head. That is why if you ever see pictures of The Royal Family wearing Tiara’s they are rarely moving their heads, let alone smiling – because they can’t. No sudden movements, and certainly no dancing!

So ladies…. there is your answer. True, they can be stunning, they are fabulously expensive, but the weight is too much to bear. Some say no pain, no gain, but here at RYR we disagree. You should LOVE wearing your diamond jewellery, not wishing for every second that you could take it off.
