Jewelry

Bought my first piece of Absolute (HSN version of DMQ) and waiting for it to get here. Bought the Hall of Mirrors ring. Its an emerald cut ring with channel set emerald cut stones all the way around the band. It looks beautiful. I've never bought jewelry from HSN and just wondering what to expect.

@spursfan2   When I read your header I expected to discuss Absolute Vodka!  That's the only Absolute I know.

I have some Absolute and purchased the matching band ring to the TS and oval cut stud earrings. They arrived today and are very pretty. I've had some issues with loose stones, but quality is like Diamonique. Their shipping is fast so find myself ordering more things from there these days.

I own DMQ, Absolute and also Bella Luce (JTV).  I think the CZ stones are pretty much the same quality. What I have noticed, however, is that over the years the settings have become not so good. In other words, my newer CZ pieces from every network have become thinner and more lightweight with less metal in them. Some of the newer Absolute pieces aren't even sterling silver any more but plated base metals. The vermeil pieces are much better than the plated stuff.

My experience has been Absolute is as good as Diamonique.  I have no complaints about the cz's or overall quality of either one.  Never lost any stones.

I actually think it may be the the same company that makes most of the CZ's, just give it different name. Stones are the same, just different settings.

I saw the ring and it looked beautiful. I think you'll love it. Don't know how Absolute compares with Diamonique. Both claim to be the greatest there is....

I used to buy quite a bit of Victoria Wieck when she was part of HSN. She had some beautiful Absolute pieces, and I loved them all. I'd say Absolute is very comparable to Diamonique.

I have a ring I purchased from Victoria Wieck years ago when she was on HSN and it was a special cut she had called 16 arrows, anyway it is just as sparkly as it was when I purchased.  Also Victoria's gold over has never tarnished.

Diamonique, Absolute and ShopHQ's Brilliante are all excellent quality.  I purchased several pieces when they were setting it in gold.  I have a Brilliante stone set in Platinum.  They are all beautiful (and old).  I haven't tried Belle Luce.
