I saw this on air the other night when Jill was hosting the show with Judith. Interesting because I never watch Ripka or Jill shows, but evidentally I turned my station's and it landed there. Jill was going on and on about how beautiful and affordable this ring was. It was like $ 99.00 and change on three Easy Pays I believe. (Now it's back to the original price of $ 110.00 ).

I thought it might be a bit too flashy for Jill's taste, but she carried on and on about it and how she would like to wear it, etc.

I listened to a few callers who were excited to purchase it.

I considered it for a moment, it is pretty, and similar to my canary diamond engagement ring set.

But I have to be true to self and in keeping with my stand on not purchasing anything from Ms. Ripka.

I am wondering if any of you saw it and purchased it with Jill's persuasion ?

I didn't buy it, but it looked quite stunning. See how the reviews come in. It will be around.

This ring looks like a previous purchase. I love it's looks. Now to find the item number......... I found it J279892 and I don't own it. I have the Ascher cut J261265 but would switch anytime.

I had purchased this ring a while ago and it's lovely and substantial. It is a little over the top, but for some fun fantasy bling, it's great.

Why? And if that is the case, then why do you even care to ask?

Sheesh, I agree with you....someone trying to stir the pot...

I never said I didn't think it is gorgeous, and I want to know if it is over the top, looks believable or by size would it look fake because it is so dramatic, and wouldn't pass for real unless you were a celebrity or someone who would actually wear and could afford the real thing in that size. Jill stated that it looked so believable that people wouldn't know the difference. I wonder if most of us showed up wearing it among our peers would they think it real or know it was fake ?

I thought about it momentarily, but decided against it because I don't buy Ripka. My reasons have nothing to do with the question I posed.

No, I'm not trying to stir any pot. You people are so nasty, always suspecting poster have questionable reasons for what they say. You sound like a bunch of conspiracy theorists.

If you must know, a lady close to me wanted me to find out what I can about it for herself, and I promised I would.

I see no reason I have to explain myself for haters like you, but because of my love for her I don't mind. I actually thought some nice people would respond shedding some light on this ring for her benefit.

If it makes her happy, I may obtain it for her.

You all are so snappy and judgmental. It's a bitter and terrible way to live life.

Thank you to those mature women who respond kindly to my inquiry.

Contrary to sometimes popular opinion, Jill is not anyone's 'friend' any more than the others... She too is paid to sell and will say what's necessary to get the job done... The only way to know if the ring is truly beautiful or over the top is to get it home and judge for yourself, since we all have different standards with regard to that... Personally, a 9 carat cubic zirconia, regardless of the name on the green box, is still a fake diamond, and not of much interest to me, though it might be pretty to look at... I'm afraid Jill, 'the straight shooter', doesn't often convince me to buy much of anything these days...

Stevieb...your point is well taken. And all the more reason I wondered what others thought of the ring. The size would make it look suspicious, but Jill continued to work on how much it looked real and beliveable.

I don't believe for a heartbeat Jill would wear that ring in her private life. But she does blow it out of her ear when it comes to J. Ripka.

Thanks for your always honest opinion.

Remee,

I read this thread and I am curious, why don't you buy any Ripka Jewelry? I am a big fan myself and I have quite a collection. I know not every piece is for everyone, and a lot of the prices have gotten out of hand, but you would never buy anything ever? I know that you don't have to respond to this and I am not looking to bash anyone, I really am just curious to know why? Thank you.

I did not find your comment offensive Remee....I thought you had decided that she and the Q had gone over the top with pricing and that was the gist of your comment; certainly there are a lot of us feel that way and are also buying less or nothing.

But I remember you were irritated at some of us who loved a piece, posted reviews and made you look up the item number to get a picture and, as I said to you at the time, I have never been able to do this, BUT I do appreciate those who do. I have copied your gracious instructions and will try it next time I want everyone to drool over a piece I love.

Let's all let it go; Remee, if you have been around a while you have seen how rude and annoying some posters are who come into this forum JUST to badmouth what we love....we have developed a sensitivity to those kinds of posts and I believe your comment was NOT intended that way.

The stones are pretty, and while they are an emerald SHAPE, they are not an emerald CUT. Emerald cuts have the step cut, and reflect light much differently ... like baguettes.

If this makes any difference to you ....

judy, I was the poster that Remee jumped all over because I didn't post a picture of the item I was referring to. Most people who post on this forum know I have multiple sclerosis (MS). Sometimes this limits my thought process. And they cut me a break.

To post something like she did about never buying any Ripka. That would be like me to go onto the Temptations forum and ask about a piece but stating I would never ever buy any of that line.

Just saying......

Lets all be kind to each other, to much going on in the world to hurt each other here.

The ring is very pretty, would love to see JR make one in a carat or two as well.

Happy thought: "Hope everyone has a better day today then yesterday and even better tomorrow"
