Over-the-Top $8,000 Diamond Martini Sips into The Hamptons Scene

This summer, luxury takes a dazzling turn in The Hamptons with the debut of an extravagant cocktail: an $8,000 martini topped with a 5-carat diamond tennis necklace from luxury jeweler Jimmy The Rock Diamonds.

The special drink, called “The Rocks on Rocks,” blends the classic elegance of a martini with a glamorous twist—the necklace hangs prominently over the oversized glass, serving as a sparkling garnish.

James Roccisano, founder of Jimmy The Rock Diamonds, explained that gems are now becoming part of the cocktail presentation, with the martini being “the little black dress of drinks,” dressed up with 5 carats of sparkle. “The Hamptons has always been a playground for decadent summer sipping,” he said.

The diamond necklace, valued at around $10,000, is sold at a wholesale price for this exclusive event. The first batch of three has already been served since the cocktail’s debut on June 21, including a guest from Arizona who traveled to savor the unique experience. Other customers, including Wall Street professionals and equestrians, appreciated the blend of luxury and charity; $1,000 from each purchase is donated to charities of their choice, with one supporter honoring her mother’s memory.

The restaurant has responded to the demand by ordering more large martini glasses, promising chilled and iced drinks while supplies last. The collaboration stemmed from a friendship between Roccisano and restaurateur Maurizio Marfoglia, with plans to introduce the cocktail at another Sag Harbor location later this summer.

Guests interested in other beverages can opt for different drinks—at $8,000, nearly any cocktail can be customized to suit their taste.

While some diners barely noticed the eye-catching jewelry, the experience offers a mix of opulence, philanthropy, and fun, making it a standout addition to the luxurious summer scene in The Hamptons.
