Last Update: 09 Jan 2004

 

Sean has designed a code which forms the script for a series of jewels for

the Dazzler Campaign. The code is based on abstract sketches Sean created.

The Dazzler Campaign is a partnership between Emdico, London based

diamond merchants and Blondel Cluff, society jeweller and wife of mining

magnate, Algy Cluff. The purpose is to combine the glamour of diamonds

with a charitable element to it thus imparting a feel good factor to this

most intimate and emotional of purchases.

 

Three new cuts of diamonds have been created and patented. They gather

and reflect light in a very exciting way thus departing from the sheer

uniformity and commonness of the old style of cuts. These cuts are known

collectively as “Cool Cuts” and individually as Shiva, Heera and Amity.

A percentage of the sale of the wholesale price and a percentage of

retail sale prices have been pledged to charity. The current beneficiary

is the National Osteoporosis Society (NOS). Thus the glamour of diamond

has been combined with good health.

A wide range of celebrities have been invited to design a series of limited

edition jewellery using these cuts. The celebrities have pencilled their designs

and the dazzler campaign has produced this jewellery and offered it to

participating retailers. Sean Bean, Elton John, Phil Collins, Joanna Lumley,

Dawn French and Bruce Oldfield, Amanda Wakely from the fashion world

and Jewellery designer Theo Fennell and Stephen Webster have generously

donated their designs. In addition, several other celebrities have been

requested and have agreed to design something for the campaign.

Each jewel is produced in strictly limited numbers and is accompanied by a

Certificate of Authenticity which bears a unique number, also engraved on the

jewel.

In addition, a fabulous diamond necklace featuring the Shiva cut has been

donated to the NOS.

An extensive PR and advertising programme has been planned to showcase

the campaign.

The Diamond Trading Company has backed the project and has hailed it as

an innovative union of luxury and health.

All diamonds are sourced from conflict free sources and conforms to DTC’s

best business practice principles.

Please visit the Dazzler Campaign for more information, participating

retailers, a celebrity design album and press releases.

 

Sean's support for the National Osteoporosis Society (NOS) is inspired by

his grandmother's strong bones and her participation in osteoporosis research

at Sheffield hospitals.
