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.
I totally agree on the DQ of old being of better quality. I have many "old" DQ items, mostly rings and they were beautiful when purchased and still are. I've tried some of the more recent DQ and returned them all--just didn't look real.
Thank you ladies...I knew you would all come through and help !! The rings I wnt fro Q and JTV are on waitlist. I want them to both come so I can see them side by side. I do have the 5 stone diamonique in solid 14k that I bought a few years ago. The stones just look a bit dull..So the waitlist order is the 100facet...ut from what I read..I might be better off with the one I have.
I think Bella by far. It has nicer styles and much more variety then Diamonique. The only time Diamonique approaches is when it has 100 facets. Both are worthless though.
Bella by far! As mentioned before, I too have Diamonique pieces from 30 years ago set in 14kt. JTV has way more variety and is a better price than QVC.
Also, for those who don't know, shop their preowned section- an even better deal!
I have owned both over the decades, Absolute too. It's all the same high quality AAA cubic zirconia. I gave all the pieces set in silver away and I kept the pieces that are in 14K. I don't know if any of them make pieces in gold anymore.
