I'm really surprised when I saw Diamonique was listing under their own branding a Diamonique + colored enamel band ring(J363771) that is shamelessly the spitting image of a Judith Ripka ring(J362516) that is also available on the Q. They both have the star moon planet motif. Both have Diamonique. Both come in silver + gold clad options. JR color options are Turquoise, Pink, White...the Diamonique color options are Black, a bright shade of Navy + Pink. Granted price point is different also JR is <$80 Diamonique is <$50. I'm just surprised JR would stand for that. It seems quite ballsy of the Q to do something like that.

Yes they are similar and they both 'borrowed' the idea from Hidalgo!

The rings are not a splitting image. For one thing the insides are very different from one another. One is solid while the other is designed. Love that design btw.
Q's ring looks like a better quality ring. As the saying goes, "Imitation is the Sincerest Form of Flattery."
"Never argue with a fool. Onlookers may not be able to tell the difference."

So many, many copies of all sorts of things no matter what we're buying. Maybe when someone is paying really big money there are fewer copies, but that's never been true for anything I've purchased.
I have exactly one piece of JR and it's barely different from so many rings in other jewelry brands sold by the Q and elsewhere. I bought it because I liked the green stones and just hadn't seen them elsewhere. Otherwise, it could be anyone's design.

The JR ring is more intricate in the details. But they are very similar in that they both have the same theme and are both enameled.

QVC is just competing with itself. Smart move. They can up price when using JR’s name and they can make both rings in the same factory. They can get ideas from Hidalgo and from Lauren G Adams. Many companies have different lines with price points targeted for different clientele.

That's because they both bought those rings from the same jewelry manufacturer. Evine and JTV are probably selling it too.
