Calling all long time Diamonique wearers....

sparkleluvr — Mon, 19 May 2014 11:04:06 GMT

I'm new to Diamonique only in the last few years, and my question is, did any Diamonique pieces (or Epiphany/Diamonique), ever have "Vietnam" inscribed on the item? I haven't seen it on any of their more recent pieces, but I was wondering if it was ever put on any of the older items.

Thanks so much for your help! :-)

NO WAY ! If you find a piece with it on it it isn't real QVC Diamonique!

I just did a quick search and this QVC DMQ/Epiph item (sold out) showed up. It is made in Vietnam.

OMG,OMG !!! Guess I'm going to have to eat some crow then. Boy I am ticked off if this is true !

Any Diamonique made there would bother me, but to have the Epiphany line made there is the WORST ! I thought it was made in America.

I can't trust anybody anymore. I know when I first bought Diamonique 25 years ago I believe it was all made stateside. Well, now I'm doubting that !

Do we have to outsource EVERYTHING ????? And as the prices go up too ?

Well, VaBelle, I'm grateful to you for teaching me this, I GUESS, lol, but I think I'd feel better if I kept my head buried in the sand !!

Hope-Q. You thought they were made in America? Since when? They have been made in China for years. Is that better for you? Take a look at your clothes too. I bet one thing you own is made in Vietnam. Guess where so much of our furniture is made? Vietnam.

DMQ is made in various countries, mostly China (I have an old ring made in Korea, and some necklaces made in Dominican Republic), but Vietnam is a new one for me.

Sure it was. Just now, I searched "Diamonique USA" and got 79 items. There have been DMQ items made in Italy, too.

CZ, circling the globe.

What am I missing? Why would Epiphany made in Vietnam be the worst?

That's what I was wondering. The Vietanmese are fine craftsmen and make some beautiful jewelry.

Some of the most beautiful artisan jewelry is made in Vietnam, so I am curious why it is so bad?

Some people still recall the war and the turmoil, and have an emotional response to Vietnam. Just guessing, though.
