I am trying to decide which one to go with.  I know some ladies will not steer me wrong !!   Thank you !

I don't have much of either one, but with my limited experience I would have to say  I give Bella the edge.

I have purchased many Diamonique pieces for over 20 years and I love most of the older pieces espically the ones set in 14kt settings and find the quality not as good as in the past. Mainly the settings being sub par not the stones. But I do have new pieces I love such as the Courtney halo ring and the Amy round ring. I have a few Bella Luce rings. The Lisa Mason large rectangle ring and a few weeks ago purchased and the ring Amy S. used to wear with the black diamonique surrounding it done in Bella Luce at JTV on sale for 19.99 and it's exactly the same ring. My mother has the QVC version she paid way more for and except for hers havings some "years' on it you can't see any difference.  I have seen several rings on JTV that are the same rings sold here on the Q. That said both are good diamond simulants but I find JTV prices more reasonable. Just my opinion!

I have some of each and several of my Diamonique are older pieces.  To me, they both look about the same.  Whichever you decide on, a 100 facet piece is definitely more sparkly!  Also, I have found JTV prices on Bella are lower than Diamonique.

I wouldn't know.  QVC says Diamonique is the best.  HSN says their Absolute is the best.  And then there is Bella Lucce, the best. 

Never purchased Bella Lucce, but Diamonique and Absolute haven't changed color over the years and look  realistic to me.  

Wouldn't surprise me if all three use the same manufacturers.

I tend to think the CZs are pretty much the same, I have some from Q and H and my most recent was from Amazon the difference is the settings, how nicely done or designed etc and what is your preference.  a chintzy setting is not good

I think there is more variety in the the Bella line and there are also more colors of stones offered in that line as well. I vote for Bella.

I love my Bella, great selection, so reasonably priced. I think basically the stones are probably from the same source, so I would go by price and settings that make you happy.

Today I received a Bella Luce solitaire ring and it's absolutely beautiful.  It sparkles but doesn't look fake.  The 100 facet Diamonique rings just look like glass to me and not realistic.  I do have a ring set from years ago in 14K gold and it still looks amazing and looks like the real thing.  I tend to think that the older Diamonique looked better than what is coming out now.

I agree to where the Bella Luce jewelry is a better price that Diamonique.

@mariadomenica. I own both.  My older Diamonique is so much nicer than the newer versions.  The quality, the cutting, and the settings were very pretty.  I tried Absolute; no thanks.  As for Bella, it's lovely.  The quality and sparkle are spot on.  I also like their Esotica line of gemstones.  And, obviously,  the prices are so much better.
