I like some of her stuff, but have never bought. A pendant or bracelet would be nice though.

Diamonique in small sizes, esp. pave or channel set looks real. I have two stack eternity bands that are channel set and they look 100% real- my mom chewed me out for buying such "expensive" rings for no reason, until I told her they were not real diamonds. I have a pair of diamonique studs too that are 1.5 ct and they are believable too.

Judith Ripka's son, who is part of her business, says the same thing about diamonique. He looped it and said he said it was hard to tell the difference, which is when she started adding it to her pieces. Originally she didn't use it. Now she does use it alot. But you can still find pieces without it. The green quartz ring I pictured doesn't have any. I prefer it in pave, rather than larger diamonds, I think its especially hard to tell.

i dont know but i just dont really appreciate paying an amount for CZ diamonds. actually in fact i dont even like CZ if i were to get CZ i wouldnt get it from a well known brand. id get a no brand CZ.
i dont know if its just me but i dont like the idea of how theres many lines for JR since some naive ppl mite think Oh my JR is CZ and u have a CZ so ur sparkly gems must be CZ too since mines are CZ without knowing much about the different levels. its sort of like the game of armani. a lot of people still think Armani Xchange is part of the giorgio armani or emporio armani circle but it isnt . do i make sense =s =p?

I love JR too! I have a smoky quartz ring from the more upscale line i got in exchange for my DY gemstone ring which became loose in its setting from day 1-- i was so disappointed...that I bought my first JR and have had no problems!

I also have a few pieces from the QVC line as well. JR is beautiful! One reason for JR over DY is that JR is more unique in my opinion as DY is def. more easily recognized by others in general. IMO JR pieces tend to be a bit more "feminine"/ ornate & delicate-looking compared to DY.
