A New Kind of Kiss - Jewelry from Hershey's

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Jewelry

The classic Hershey's Kiss shape is an icon. It brings to mind visions of simpler times -- uncomplicated chocolate being "kissed" onto the confectioner's paper. With the Hershey's Kiss' close association with Valentine's Day and other love-related occasions, it was only a matter of time until they came out with diamonds.

The new collection by World Trade Jewelers, which celebrates the Hershey's Kiss and is the official Hershey's Kiss jewelry line, is showcasing this week in Las Vegas at JCK, and is available in NYC this summer at Peachtree Jewelers, Golden Nugget Jewelers, AOL/Time Warner Center, and The Plaza Hotel -- priced from $499.00 - $7999.00.

The pieces are simple and lovely -- and a beautiful way to give "chocolate" to someone who's watching their weight. The Hershey's Kiss collection, including the Medium Hershey's Kiss Pendant, 1.66ct, $3,995 (above), will be available nationwide in the fall.

More exciting still: The first 20 Luxist readers attending JCK to give the code "Luxist" to booth #7117 will receive a complementary sterling silver kiss necklace! Tell your friends in Vegas!

Luxury Chocolatier Threatened By Hershey's Over Kiss Trademark

You wouldn't think that chocolatier Jacques Torres would have to worry about his products catching the eye of Hershey's. But Torres makes a rather delicious confection called the champagne kiss which is chocolate kissed with Taittinger Rose champagne and decorated with a lip print ($57.50 for a box of 50). This caught the attention of the Hershey Company which had their lawyers send Torres a letter claiming that kiss and kisses are Hershey's trademarks and that Torres discontinue the use of the words in connection with his chocolates.

The best part of this story is the reply from Torres's lawyer which NY Magazine's Grub Street has reproduced. It says that Jacques Torres will not discontinue use of the name and that the request is "yet another example of a giant, monolithic corporation attempting to take advantage of 'the little guy,' in this case, a world-renowned artisan from France." The letter goes on to say that the two products could never be confused and that "the analogy might be similar to Chevrolet complaining that Rolls Royce is infringing on the Chevrolet trademark." Certainly it is true that no one is likely to confuse the two products but is a kiss still a kiss? A quick Google search of the phrase "chocolate kisses" pulls up pages of recipes, Hershey products and even a book and a nail polish that use the phrase as titles, but not a sign of Torres's chocolates.
