DIAMONIQUE “GALA” YESTERDAY

Shanus — Thu, 18 Jan 2018 14:43:44 GMT

Our local channels are tied up with weather reports and “closings”, so channel surfing.

I did see portions of Diamonique Gala yesterday....3 hrs. of bad to worse! The Design of the Month had so much “halo”, can’t even see center stone...offering the second band with stones, too is just overkill.

There was a huge new 3 stone ring that Rick and Erin both had a difficult time describing the shape of center stone. It was a cushion shape but w/ some innovative faceting that ran north/south. The trillions on either side were (design wise) out of proportion. The flat side of trillion stones should never be as long as larger center stone...makes the center stone not stand out as it should and the entire setting/stones looked like a “blob of artificial sparkle”.

There were some new pieces that have been requested. Anyone make a purchase?

Spoiled from yesteryear Qvc! Not the same shows. Sometimes cruise YouTube watch Qvc classics! Diamonquie shows were all that then some. Never gets old. Wish the same quality offered today. Hope lives eternal.😊

No. As soon as I saw that it was a three hour show(!) I changed the channel. I just looked at items presented and nothing fit my need.

I'm always on the hunt for light, lively, dangly earrings. My two favorite go-to pairs are DMQ.

I did watch bits of the "gala" but was underwhelmed. The wedding sets shown are just too gaudy for my taste. Rick talks too much as usual, not letting Erin have a chance.

I did put on a pair of dmq studs this morning (set in real yellow gold) just to mark the occasion.

I took a look at the items shown after work yesterday and was very dissppointed. Most of the items looked cheap.

I really, really miss the Classic, 14K gold Diamonique, which thankfully, I had the good sense to buy. I will just continue to enjoy - those beautiful pieces that llook so elegant and i have so many complements on, and truly look like beautiful diamond settings.

Too bad they lost the essence of what Diamonique represented.

Now it is a floundering Orphan of QVC Corporate. Sad demise.

I'm on a spending diet but I didn't see anything I couldn't live without. The solitaire in 14k was pretty, 20 years ago it would have been half the price.

I already have the 100 facet tennis bracelet and studs.

If I do break down & buy anything, it might be another more designer looking bracelet or a pair of earrings Not those split hoops, so glad they are headed out the door.

QVC is trying so hard to make Rick a jewelry salesman. He is so hyper.

The show is more about him than the product and that annoys me to no end.

I taped the show but doesn't sound like I need to bother to watch. I wish QVC could find ONE SHOW HOST who could present diamonique like Kathy Levine used to, and also they need a new designer SO BADLY!

I just find odd that women who interested in the show watched it. The whole 3 hours, it seems. Bizarre. I did see that there was a 3 hour Dmq show and dropped in a few times during commercial breaks and then I forgot about it. I own all the Dmq I'll ever want, I also own Bella Luce, which I prefer because the prices are better and I can get small carat weights. I'm going to put all of my cz jewelry in one big jewelry box, I'm not going to stop wearing it but I'm done buying it.

They could make this line such a success if they had the right designers !!!! We want updated, realistic size diamonique...send someone out to check out jewelry stores, check out nordstrom. i have seen some of the most beautiful items in jewelry store windows. Not big ugly clunky looking designs. Not sterling layered with stuff. Real gold, real silver ! What happened to this line ???

@Daludog ITA except I like the platinum clad. The silver is very bright and doesn’t look like platinum, so not what diamonds would be set in.

If I knew where to send them, maybe we can begin to cut pics from catalogues and magazines and mail them.

It may give them some inspiration and hints what we’re looking to purchase.

@chrystaltree Not odd. I DVR the shows I may be interested in seeing & FF through most of it. This 3 hr. GALA only took 5 minutes to see that way.

No DVR and it only took me about 15 minutes to figure it all out myself. I was killing time while knitting

I can't remember the last time I actually watched a show on QVC.

Either the items presented are c r a p or the hosts are annoying.

Doesn't mean I don't have an opinion.

I agree, ONE show host, especially jewelry. I watched a little yesterday until I was frustrated and gave up because they would hardly show the five stone options enlarged, but go right back to a shot of Rick & Erin bantering as if it is some talk show! The ring I wanted to see was on the end, but the camera man they have usually focuses on only four, they don't care because theyre not there to buy it. Then they took a call, and the camera goes back to them, again! I was trying to get a good look at the ring I wanted to see & had it, changed the channel.

Hey Qvc, when you're trying to sell something tiny on air, the only one person that cares to see the host and vendor talking is the ONE person on the phone. The rest of us shoppers want to view the product, not them. It's not a talk show.

I love the idea of clipping pictures of great designs..... doesn’t the Q own diamonique? If they do, why can’t we ask the Q to direct our cut outs, you would think they would be interested as they are the ones who would benefit.

@QuinnPenny Diamonique does not have a separate listing under Favorite Brands....maybe there’s a contact person on FB. I’m no longer on FB to check it out.
