Have u seen all the QVC Ripka pieces at Saks Off Fifth website? What's up with that? Prices are higher than they were at QVC

I'm suprised Off5th is allowed to use the Diamonique trademark.

They don't use the word diamonique but I believe some of those pieces have the fleur-de-lis undergallerys, etc. which ripka only used at qvc.

I guess if Walmart.com can sell Susan Graver, Saks can sell Ripka.

Didn't she sell herself a long time ago? Long before she stopped hosting?

That also seemed to be the end of her good stuff.

Their item descriptions state Diamonique for five of the items you showed in your screencapture.

Judith Ripka did not sell herself, in 2014 she sold the Judith Ripka jewelry brand to Xcel brands, which also owns Isaac Mizrahi and H by Halston.

She has never been host on QVC. From March 1998 to September 2019 Ripka appeared as a guest.

Are these familiar to you QVC items? Maybe QVC sold off some of their inventory, rather than show drastic markdowns.

Yes many of these styles were sold on QVC. I was wondering the same thing because it's just so unusual 🤷🏻‍♀️

@BarefootLuvr Very interesting thread. Just a thought but I'm wondering if Saks Off Fifth has third party sellers like say Walmart.com has where they post items for sale on the main site. You've sure given me a new place to look and drool. Take care,

I've never noticed them selling 3rd party before. I'm hoping for a good sale soon because I want a couple of those pieces 🤞🏻

I wouldn't be surprised if Saks was being used as a 3rd party seller. It's a win-win for all parties.

SHOPHQ is doing this on a VERY limited basis with jewelry: CHANEL, LV and Van Cleef & Arpels are just a few of the high-end lines they carry.

I have checked the Saks website and see that they are not using "diamonique" any more. All description now state "cubic zirconia".
