I am looking for the new Hampton Inn commercial and a Diamond Trading Co. commercial, as well. The Hampton Inn commercial has been airing on the Food Network. The Diamond Trading Co. one was on CNBC during a Late Night with Conan O*Brien episode on Friday, May 6th. Thanks for any assistance!

I forgot to add that the Diamond Trading Company commercial has a young couple walking pass an old couple in a park. This might help.

It*s from 2001 and we put it under "A Diamond Is Forever" since that*s their public brand. The DTC and older DeBeers names still have that "blood diamond" stigma.

Thanks so much for the tip! However, could you explain by what you meant by a "blood diamond" stigma? Thanks so much!

NOTE The PC term for this is now "conflict diamonds" - Nice, eh?



The DTC supposedly runs a clean operation nowadays, but since they pretty much control the market, one never knows...
