I LOVE jewelry!  Can I say that again?  I LOVE jewelry!  There, it’s out of my system.  Whew! 

I’ve loved jewelry since I was a little girl.  Whenever my parents went on a trip without us (5 kids), they would bring back a little something for us (probably out of guilt for having fun without us).  One of those little “somethings” came from a trip they took out West.  It was a silver heishi bead and turquoise nugget necklace and bracelet set.  Do you know I still have that set after all these years? 

Coming from the gemstone jewelry world, I couldn’t wait to see what QVC had to offer.  I was shocked at the collection!  Not only is it vast, but the quality is, frankly, wow!  One of the lines that surprised me the most is Diamonique.  I had no idea how beautiful the jewelry was until I began to work with the line.  I mean, who needs diamonds when there’s Diamonique?  (Ok, we all do, but still.)  I’ve discovered it’s a terrific compliment to my colored gem pieces.  

Anyway, I want to begin building my Diamonique wardrobe.  So far, I have the watch Lisa Mason helped design and a bangle bracelet.  Since many of you have been purchasing Diamonique for nearly 25 years, I would love to hear how you started your collection and what “staple/essential” pieces you feel I should have in my wardrobe.  What is the first piece of Diamonique jewelry that you purchased.
