Your Chance to Win this Exclusive,
Diamond-Mounted Cooker!
(And, in the process, raise funds for Let’s Cook a national, WI-led scheme)
This exclusive, diamond-mounted cooker was unveiled on 23 September 2008 to celebrate 60 years – the diamond anniversary – of Denman College, the Women’s Institute-owned Residential Adult Education College based in Marcham.
The one-of-a-kind working range cooker was specially commissioned by leading home appliance brand Stoves with diamond jewellery specialist Seventy Seven Diamonds (www.77diamonds.com), to mark the college’s diamond anniversary.
It has been finished with a specially developed “diamond-effect” sparkling silver paint, but its centrepiece is a spectacular, certified half-carat diamond worth around £1,400, donated by Seventy Seven Diamonds. In total, the oven is worth well over £4,000.
We are now raffling this amazing Stoves oven with funds being donated to Let’s Cook, a national, WI-led scheme which runs cookery programmes for parents in disadvantaged communities.
To purchase a raffle ticket, which cost £2.50 each (there are no additional card charges or admin fees), please visit www.rogavi.com/WIdiamond or, for more information, email diamondcooker@stoves.co.uk
The diamond cooker will be showcased at the BBC Good Food Show in Birmingham from 26th to 30th November on stand V120.

Earlier this year, Stoves announced a long-term partnership with the Women’s Institute which will see the brand and the WI work together on a number of projects including the refurbishment of Denman College’s cookery school.
Although a charity itself, Denman College has nominated the national Let’s Cook scheme to receive proceeds from the auction as a special gift for to mark its anniversary.
Anne Harrison, Chair of the Denman College Committee (and vice-chair of the National Federation of Women’s Institutes), commented: “Our 60th anniversary is set to be an extremely momentous occasion and we are extremely grateful to Stoves and Seventy Seven Diamonds for creating such a unique charity show piece for the event.
“The cooker really is something special and will make a wonderful focal point at the event and of course in the auction winner’s kitchen – after all, there can be few people in the world who can say they are the proud owner of a diamond-mounted oven!”
Denver Hewlett, Chief Executive of Stoves, commented: “As a committed partner of the Women’s Institute and Denman College, when we heard about the diamond anniversary celebrations we were determined to create something unique and special for them.
“This cooker is a world first for us but who knows, maybe diamond-mounted cookers will feature in our standard product range!
“With all money going to Let’s Cook – a brilliant scheme which has great practical benefits to many disadvantaged people across the UK – I’d encourage everyone to log on to www.stoves.co.uk/WIdiamond to find out more or email diamondcooker@stoves.co.uk to receive information about placing a bid.”
Ira Kormind, Creative Director, Seventy Seven Diamonds commented: “Setting a diamond into a cooker is certainly something that we’ve never done before but it was an exciting challenge and the finished effect is striking.
“A diamond cooker is the ultimate luxury kitchen appliance – not only will it create a spectacular centrepiece in someone’s kitchen, the auction will raise lots of money for Let’s Cook which is a very deserving cause.”
