Is This Judith Ripka?

I bought this ring online, used, and I just realized that the markings aren't correct. The person said they bought it on QVC in 2016. The band says 925 JS China. I don't know what JS stands for. All my other jewelry is marked with her initials, JR. Has anyone seen this?

it certainly LOOKS like a genuine JR. i googled around a bit, and it seems that she had done some overseas production. used to be thailand. another poster from a old thread said the ring that she got was marked china. i hope at least you got it at a good price.

I got an awesome price! I only paid $41! I honestly don't care if it is unless I decide to sell it in a couple of years. I love the ring. It's definitely sterling silver. It passed the magnet test. I don't know what the stones are, but they're a beautiful blue.

Yeah, I did follow the post about how to load pics. For whatever reason, it's showing up for me only on the mobile version. On the desktop version, I have to click on the picture thumbnail next to the top of my paragraph. Hopefully you can do that. 😊

I don't know, it's nothing like I have In silver from JR, the silver application and carving is not her style. I guess she could have done a special line for someone.

I think this is an Affinity Blue Diamond ring. I have one just like it in the Red Diamond. The split shank and silver design on the inside of ring is exactly the same and it does say China on the inside band.

My ring also says 925 JS and I know mine is Afinity Diamond.

It looks like it's this one. You can copy and paste the item number in QVC's search box to view it. Yes, I am into jewelry as much as I am into handbags.

@Mswanson502, this is a QVC Affinity diamond ring...not Judith Ripka. I have it in both the blue stones and the red stones. I can't recall how much I paid for it and even when exactly I bought it. I checked my 2017 purchases online and it was not there. Must have been 2016 and QVC does not show my purchases for that year. I don't "think" it was 2018 but I will go and check and let you know if I find it.

looks like it was available from about 2014 - about early 2017. lots of good reviews. looks like you got a good deal on it.

Wow! I'd say you got a heck of a deal, even if its not Judith Ripka!

@Mswanson502. You did get a great bargain. Why don't you have a jeweler verify that it's diamonds? It's a very pretty setting. Nice "right hand" ring.

She said she thought it was blue hematite, but it's hard to tell since it's chips.

Great investigation here! I wonder what the 'JS' stands for, though.
