During the award seasons active stories are placements and the business on the red carpet. The Diamond Information Center, which promotes actively diamonds before the Golden Globes with a midday meal that was organized with InStyle, is rising above the fray this year (and helping to offset any Blood Diamond-inspired red carpet remarks like those by Djimon Hounsou at the Globes) by offering nominees or presenters at the Golden Globes, Grammys, or Academy Awards who wear a diamond right-hand ring a $10,000 donation in their name to a cause or project in Southern Africa. Raise Your Right Hand Ring for Africa is sponsored by red-carpet regular jewelers, including H. Stern, Martin Katz, and Neil Lane. DIC hopes to raise $100,000 for these causes this year and is well on the way already.
