Jewelry

All of my Ripka pieces are sterling silver (and I love each one!)-but I have been falling back in love with my gold jewelry lately. For those of you have purchased the gold clad-how does the color match up with 14k gold? Looking forward to tonight's show!

I have a few pieces of the clad and they are a perfect match to your 14 or 18K gold. Remember that Judie has a special gold that can have a slight greenish cast which is her signature for her high end, I love it. It holds up find, no flakes, etc. go for it, you will be hooked. And, don't hesitate to blend it with your JR sterling, it looks great together.

I have these pieces that I wear with my gold jewelry:

and these also which blend the gold and silver

I am happy with the gold clad pieces.

I also have this cuff in pink which goes well with the gold clad:

This cuff is from QVC but it looks just like a Ripka couture cuff. J31402

kd, I personally do not think Judith's 14k yellow clad pieces match my genuine 14K pieces. Her yellow clad is more yellow. Also, some of the pieces in her QVC collection do not match. For example, the chronograph watch in yellow is a different shade than her yellow clad jewelry. Not a perfect match, but you can wear it all together if you want.

Thanks ladies!

I adore the clad. It has such a rich look. I mix it with 14 and 18K . It doesn't bother me at all if the golds don't exactly match.

Thanks for the input- I don't feel it has to match perfectly-just don't want it to clash. I have a chain that's sterling with clad accents. I'm thinking I'll find a clad enhancer and start there!
