WHY!!!!!!!

EZ shopper · ‎04-07-2010

I was just scrolling through all earrings in Diamonique looking for some pink diamonique designs. I have to ask WHY are all the pink earrings done by just Judith Ripka? Does she corner the market at the Q on colored diamonique designs? I do not like her designs and, more importantly, I DO NOT like her prices. Completely over priced. Why can't the Q come up with reasonable prices and new designs in pink or colored stones like the Diamonique of yesteryear. They used to have unique designs in colors and at very reasonable prices. I am not interested in designer names or designer prices.

I haven't checked the inventory like you have - all I can add is - - to me JR's designs are great for the Queen of England (or her Mother = deceased) but not for 2018. In presentations she makes the same old remarks - 'they truly are" (as in beautiful). I have NEVER bought one item of JR's collection - and that's decades.

Go over to HSN and look up Absolute pink. You will find some pretty pieces there.

I am not a fan of Ripka designs and I'm not knocking those that love her designs. Everyone likes something different. I just wish the Q would offer other designs in the pastels that are not done by her. That's all. Her designs are too large and heavy for my liking, not to mention out of my price range.

I think I sold every single piece but one by Judith Ripka. Her rings are very uncomfortable to me, and I love Bixby. It is not the size, it is width, not sure why, but Ripak rings are too wide, and too small for stated size. Her earrings don't fit my earlobes, and omeag back hurt my ears. I generally don't like omega backs.

I agree, it would be fun to have other options.

I agree about more colors in the diamonique.....many many years ago i bought a set from QVC of 3 leverback earrings...just the perfect size...not too big and bold as much of the designs they show (not sure why they think that big and bold is all most women want...i want something "believable" if i buy any pieces from diamonique...ANYWAY...the 3 leverback earrings were very lovely.....pear shape, oval shape and a heart shape...they were prob 1 -2 ct stones.....but one was clear..one was a slight yellow color...and one was a light pink......i still have them but wish the Q would offer more believeable, color items....would love a simple band of faux sapphire small to medium stones and more bezel settings.....prongs get caught and are too high set most of the times.................................sorry ...haha..i could go on....should have been a jewelry designer i guess...ha.

Years back QVC sent me the wrong item and i got a pair of JR earrings...and i agree with the one poster ...they were too "big and bulky, heavy".......wouldn't wear them...sent them back of course right away......

I prefer the colored diamonique over the clear ones and I agree - I haven't seen any pink in a long time. I don't buy and don't watch Ripka for the same reason as most - exorbitant cost.

I scarfed up a pink DMQ huge ring by Ripka.

Only because it was on a mark-dowm

34 carats, Montana setting.

I love it, I wear it at least once or twice a week.

I wear a lot of pink.

Does anyone remember the Morgan Fairchild Diamonique collection of yesteryear? She had believable sizes in aqua, lavendar, pink, yellow and powder blue. Prices were reasonable and designs were fashion forward and beautiful. WHY can't the Q do something like that again?
