So You Think You Can Dance judge Arlene Phillips will be on true sparkling form on BBC 1 on Saturday 13th February for the Final of the 2010 Dance Competition.  She will be dressed in Matthew Williamson and Rent Your Rocks Diamonds.  See www.rentyourrocks.com to wear the same diamonds yourself!

Sophie Croydon the Founder of Rent Your Rocks graces the cover of times2 section of The Times.  The article follows the story of 5 people picked to be mentored by experts in their field.  It is one year on from when Sophie won the chance to be mentored by Glasses Direct entrepreneur Jamie Murray Wells, in the ’starting a new business’ category.

Hi this is Tanya blogging on Sophie’s Rock Blog – thought I would share the news that our very own Rent Your Rocks founder Sophie Croydon is getting married in just over 2 weeks time!  She has picked her Rocks for her big day which is taking place in Norwich Cathedral….wow!  We can’t wait!  Plans have been incredibly hectic as her venue let her down 2 weeks ago – so a very speedy re-plan was necessary.  It’s Hen Party time this weekend – I’m thinking pink tourmalines will work well for this – to go with the pink fluffy Bride to be sash!  I don’t think I will be posting any of the Hen images  but will definitely put some wedding ones up!

We were sad to see Stacey go but we have had so much fun together! She wore a fantastic gold cuff bangle and matching ring for her first 2 performances and then we had a mad dash back stage to change her into the most amazing diamonds for her 3rd performance. The Cascade Diamond Earrings, Diamond Line Bracelet and an amazing pave set diamond ring really dazzled and made her look divinely Diva like! Also we had a great time watching the show live from backstage and seeing all the contestants and the judges walk on and off set for their interviews. The studio was absolutely buzzing with excitement. When I spoke to Olly Murs he said he couldn’t believe how amazing it was with so many famous people just wandering about. Robbie Williams, George Michael, Michael Buble, Ronan Keeting, Prince Harry and Chelsea, Gok Wan, Sinitta….Simon(so masterful!), Dannii (so beautiful!), Cheryl (even more beautiful in real life!), Louis (never stops talking given the opportunity!) Olly, Stacey and of course Joe – we saw them all!

So a busy weekend up ahead for Rent Your Rocks. We are dressing Stacey for her performances in the XFACTOR FINAL this weekend. Also stay tuned straight after the Final on Sunday for The Susan Boyle show on Sunday at 9.30pm on ITV. She has 4 costume changes and will be wearing Rent Your Rocks for each outfit…Elaine Paige is making a guest appearance to sing with Subo – and even she is wearing some Rocks too! As soon as we get some screen grabs we’ll post them up… Off to chat to Sky News now…phew!

Sophie’s getting married in the New Year so we decided to have a girly get together before Christmas to celebrate her singledom with some close girlfriends and a few Rocks! We thought it would be fun to realise the feeling of stepping out into a party wearing £100,000 worth of stunning diamonds. We all had a great time that’s for sure
