Thousands of women are logging on and sharing their milestone memories in a national contest called “Milestone Moments” sponsored by Charles & Colvard, Ltd. and JCPenney. The contest, which kicked off in October, was advertised in O, The Oprah Magazine, has received more than 8,000 entries as of Dec. 6. 

At the completion of the contest, one winner will be selected and her story will be revealed nationally. She also will receive a platinum pendant set with an approximate 5-ct. round, brilliant-cut moissanite jewel surrounded and accented with micro-set diamonds valued at $10,500. The deadline to enter is Jan. 16, 2008, and women are encouraged to log onto www.Omagazine.info/moissanite to continue sharing their stories. 

“This contest is a way for us to honor extraordinary women who live brilliantly, celebrating their intricacies of spirit, individuality and milestone achievements,” said Bob Thomas, chief executive officer of Charles & Colvard, Ltd. “We hope this contest will help to create another unforgettable milestone moment in the winner’s life.”
