London, UK (PRWEB) December 19, 2008 -- During 2008, the re-design of Hot Diamonds went live. This exciting development is yet another step in the growth of the Hot Diamonds brand which has expanded phenomenally since its creation in 2001. Hot Diamonds chose February as their month launch -- just in time for Valentines -- with a stunning collection of sterling silver and diamond jewellery which included charms, diamond rings and diamond earrings. It was an overnight success; rapidly establishing themselves as the No.1 selling jewellery brand in the UK, a position they have currently held for over 6 years.
The creation of Hot Diamonds came from Sanford Simpson's (Co-founder) love affair with jewellery and film:
"I don't like cold things against my skin"..."Well why don't you invent some Hot Diamonds?" Grace Kelly & Cary Grant, To Catch a Thief, 1955

And that's what Sanford did - naming his company as a tribute to one of Hitchcock's most glamorous films: 'To Catch a Thief.' Set on the French Riviera and starring Grace Kelly and Cary Grant, the film is a timeless classic that oozes sophistication; and of course…diamonds -- two key attributes of our jewellery designs!
Since then they have expanded globally with sales in more than forty countries including the US, Russia, Australia and France. Their success has also been recognised by the jewellery industry -- winning the UK Jewellery Brand of the Year award twice at the prestigious UK jewellery awards.
Inspired by the Four C's - 'Cut, Colour, Carat and Clarity' (i.e. essential guidelines when buying a diamond), Hot Diamonds has their own version - it's their mantra:
Creed: They are non-conformists. They strive to design jewellery that is original, beautiful and desirable. They want to democratise the jewellery industry - their promise is simple; to create irresistible jewellery using only genuine materials. Their creed is highlighted with the symbolic gesture of a diamond in each and every piece. A diamond is the most precious of gemstones; it embodies sensuality, mystery and beauty. This is their intimate gift to you, and a commitment to the belief that preciousness and great design should be accessible to all.
Creativity: They like thinking outside the box and strive to be creative in all that they do. Hot Diamonds are inspired by the world around us. Hot Diamonds don't believe in sitting behind a desk but would rather be out there looking for new ideas, leading the trends. Anything can inspire: black and white Hollywood films, galleries, nature, travel, antique trimmings and fastenings, architecture and much, much more.
Craftsmanship: All Hot Diamonds jewellery is crafted from genuine materials: precious 18ct yellow gold, 9ct yellow and white gold, sterling silver, diamonds and more. Each stage in the design and development of Hot Diamonds jewellery is cherished and painstakingly undertaken. Hot Diamonds ensure that our continued craftsmanship and sensitivity to design remain at the forefront of all our activities. All their diamonds come from conflict free sources.
Commitment: They are a growing team of dedicated jewellery fanatics and are passionate about breaking new ground in jewellery design for women and men, Hot Diamonds aim to create beauty - quite simply, Hot Diamonds expect nothing less. They remain committed to their vision and are keen to share their belief that great jewellery should be accessible to all - They are convinced that jewellery is the key to long-lasting happiness…!"

Philly Daily News
ABOUT A YEAR AGO, Neil Diamond finally revealed the inspiration for his song "Sweet Caroline." He of the impressive sideburns said that it was while looking at a picture of Caroline Kennedy in the '60s that he was moved to write his signature song.
Aside from the slightly creepy aspect of a grown man taking a prepubescent teen as his muse (although Dante did some mean stuff with his own Beatrice), it reminded all of us just how important the Kennedy family was - and is - to the modern American psyche. While I was never inspired to dedicate anything to Jackie's kid, I was always aware of her presence on the periphery of my consciousness. Unlike Grace Kelly's blue-blooded Caroline, Princess Kennedy seemed to be more approachable, more intelligent, and generally nicer.
 
monsters and critics

Monaco's Prince Albert handed out Christmas presents to children this week.
The prince was joined by his sisters Princess Caroline of Hanover and Princess Stephanie as he welcomed young local people to the palace on Wednesday (17.12.08).
The royal party also took part in the traditional viewing of the Christmas tree.
Albert was sporting a festive Santa Claus tie to mark the occasion and he took responsibility for distributing gifts from under the spectacular Christmas tree to excited children.
Albert, Caroline and Stephanie then happily posed with a group of kids and a cheery Father Christmas in front of the huge Christmas tree in Monte Carlo palace's courtyard.
The royal trio are continuing their mother Princess Grace's tradition, who began hosting the principality's annual Christmas tree party in 1956.
Meanwhile, Spain's royal family have chosen personalised Christmas cards this year.
Prince Felipe and Princess Letizia have sent their festive greetings along with touching photographs of their daughters Leonor, three, and 19-month-old Sofia.
Infanta Elena, the elder daughter of the King of Spain, has opted for cards bearing pictures of her children, 10-year-old son Froilan and daughter Victoria, eight.
Infanta Cristina, the Duchess of Palma de Mallorca, has also chosen a family-theme and posed with her husband Inaki Urdangarin and their four children for the front of their seasonal card.
However, King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia - who previously posed with their grandchildren for their Christmas cards - have decided to distribute greetings featuring the three wise men this year.

Holiday greetings from years past

Historical Society of Pennsylvania offers a collection of classic cards.

By Victoria Donohoe
For The Inquirer
Holiday greeting cards date to the introduction of paper in ancient Egypt and China. But leave it to the exhibit "Holiday Traditions" at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania to find intriguing beauty, and expressive power, in 100 such cards (mostly lithographs) from its collection.
Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's and Valentine's cards are plentiful here, along with very noteworthy Hanukkah cards obtained at the merger of Balch Institute with the society. Some of the cards are from as early as the mid-19th century.
Well represented, too, are examples from the Boston print shop of German immigrant Louis Prang, father of the American greeting card. Surprisingly, Victorian valentines could be sharp-tongued or mercenary, as well as sweet and sentimental; Marcus Ward & Co.'s old card "May Christmas Bring Thee Peace & Plenty" reminds us that "thee" and "thou" could still be heard on our Quaker city's streetcars in the 1930s and '40s.
This show's most inscrutable greeting card sent by a prominent Philadelphian, and apparently self-published, is "Merrie Xmas Anyway" (1938), portraying Princess Grace's father, Jack Kelly, with a donkey, man and beast behind the eight-ball.
All the cards displayed are reproductions of delicate originals, noted Michael Ryan, the show's organizer.
Historical Society of Pennsylvania, 1300 Locust, Philadelphia. To Jan. 23. Tue & Thu 12:30-5:30, Wed 12:30-8:30, Fri 10:30-5:30. Adults $1. Closed Dec. 24-26 & Jan. 1-2; closes 5:30 on Dec. 31. 215-732-6200.
Jim's of Lambertville

A mainspring of the 150-piece painting show, "Thrilla in Lambertvilla XX," at Jim's is Clarence Johnson's Lumberville Lock (c. 1925), which demonstrates a recurring conflict between intuitive gutsiness and self-conscious finesse.
In its wintry, cavernous expanse, shapes of things billow as if in an imaginary breeze, infusing this moody oil with a necessary vitality. Also, this gives it at least a quizzical claim to seriousness as art - something another large landscape, William Lathrop's Solebury Valley, possesses hands down.
We're in Pennsylvania impressionist country here - Lathrop one of its pioneers, Johnson showing great promise but never as famous.
Connected with the longstanding traditions of that "school," other distinctive contributors to it here are Daniel Garber, Edward Redfield and Robert Spencer. A subdued Harry Leith-Ross snow scene is startling with its unexpected touch of pathos by one of our resolutely upbeat minor masters.
Jim's of Lambertville, 6 Bridge St, Lambertville, N.J. To March 31. Wed-Fri 10:30-5, Sat-Sun 10:30-6. Free. 609-397-7700.
Gratz Gallery

The 80-item "Pennsylvania Painters" show at Gratz continues local tradition with George W. Sotter, Harry Leith-Ross, John Folinsbee, Rae Sloan Bredin and many other New Hope favorites.
Also notable are oil landscapes by Antonio Martino and Walter Baum, a pleasing Carl Phillip Weber seascape, and William Winner's quirky period piece about life along the Delaware River.
Especially noteworthy is Hugh Breckenridge's moody, resonant The Valley (1922), by a strong painter whose work is too seldom seen. With Philadelphia's major Cezanne show on deck, showing this Cezannesque Breckenridge oil is timely. Also interesting is seeing the high caliber of the few present-day painters included in this show - most notably, Richard Lennox, a name to remember.

Carla learns traditions as 'old hands' in Monaco host annual party

SEND TO A FRIEND
18 DECEMBER 2008
It has been a year of many firsts for Carla Bruni-Sarkozy. Praised for the way she has gracefully slipped into the role of France's First Lady, the Italy-born beauty continued to impress as she embraced an Elysee Palace festive tradition.

Ten months after wedding French premier Nicolas Sarkozy, the stylish former model was enjoying one of the lighter aspects of her new role, handing out gifts to delighted children at the annual Palace Christmas party.

Further south in Monaco Prince Albert II and his sisters Princess Caroline and Princess Stephanie - all old hands at distributing gifts to local children after their mum Princess Grace began the tradition in 1956 - hosted the principality's annual Christmas tree party.

A Santa Claus on hand to help the trio hand out gifts made the festive scene complete as the royal hosts and their young guests later posed in front of a huge Christmas tree in the Monte Carlo palace's courtyard.
