Has anyone bought Radiance on HSN. How does it compare with diamonque. They have some beautiful items on amazing  sales.

 

I rarely turn on HSN; have ordered a few things like hangers. Never clothes or jewely.

@lavendar,

I went to look and wow you are right! Very pretty and amazing prices like we used to see years ago. 

I was watching the video for the earrings, ring, and pendant for $29.95 for all 3 at the time. Now $49.95. the 6 sided cut is so sparkly. The earrings are  #854-757

It says Radiance by Absolute.

I do have several absolute rings

and necklaces I got years ago from HSN but not this Radiance line. Absolute to me is everything as good or even better than diamonique.

The main difference to me in both is that diamonique has more classic, simpler settings and absolute has more interesting and maybe more modern, unique designs. And more interesting cuts and settings in Absolute.

I like them both very much. I haven't gotten either brand for years though.

 

I haven't watched HSN for a long time and Colleen to me is probably the best host ever. Hard to stop watching her and she makes everything sound so good!

I also saw a model I remembered and thought she used to be on QVC. Maybe both.

 

Anyway, so fun to watch. I need more jewelry like a hole in the head but I would have gotten this if I saw it before I had so many already.

 I watched the Radiance Absolute show. The designs are beautiful, and both Katharine and Colleen did a good job with presentation. 

 

I was temped to purchase something, but held off since I already have so much jewelry. It was interesting show.

@lavendar I have a ring and earrings from this line from a little while back.  They are really pretty pieces and same with me, if I didn't already have more jewelry than I can wear, I would have bought the necklace and earrings set which is still available today at the $39.98 price.........it's a bargain!  Plus they have a matching ring you can purchase.  You will not be disappointed in Absolute.

Highly recommend Radiance by Absolute!!  It's more sparkly.....unique designs too...Love Paul Woods (he's the ambassodor of luxury)....he is a co-host on shows like Radiance, Bellezza, & Disney jewelry....he explains items in detail.   I miss their Xavier line...very vintage...I have several of those pieces.

I think JTV Bella Luce has it all over the competition, lower prices, and much prettier and unique settings. Bella tanzi color is spot on.

The HSN product I purchased a few years ago were not as nice as the diamonique from QVC. Maybe it's changed since then. The plating on my rings did not hold up.

It's all the same cubic zirconia.  Only the designs differ.  Probably all manufactured in the same factories.
