I noticed the Kelly Ripa thread was consolidated with the Roseark's thread. To the OP of that thread I'm pretty sure Kelly Ripa's wearing the Jennifer Zeuner cross. I saw it id'd on another website. Miley Cyrus and Vanessa Hudgens also wear the J.Z. cross not Rosearks. Not to sound like a crazy sideways cross stalker or anything....

It keeps telling me a security token is missing when I try to upload my photos. Does anyone know what that means?
No idea why. Can you please maybe upload the pics on Tinypic and post the links? Dying to see the comparison!
^^^Thanks! I didn't even know tinypic existed.
The first and second ones are side by side close ups, the diamond one is the one from ebay and the regular gold is from Rosearks.
The only really big difference I could tell was on the clasps. The ebay one is on top. It has bigger fastenings. Also Roseark's has put their own insignia piece before the fastener. Last one is side by side again.
Honestly if someone had bought me the ebay one as a gift I would not have been able to tell the difference between that and my Roseark's. I don't know if it really is from the same supplier but it's pretty similar. I kind of want to take the ebay one to a jeweler and ask them to confirm that it is in fact real gold and diamonds.
On a side note it was shipped to me in a manila envelope. The top was not sealed or taped up, the clasp was just down. At first I though maybe something happened to it during shipping but there wasn't that standard USPS tape that they use when they have to repackage your item. It was really strange. I mean why would you ship anything let alone a piece of jewlery in an unsealed manila envelope?

In additon to the differences stated above I just noticed that the ebay cross has 11 diamonds horizontally and 7 vertically, the Rosearks one has 8 horizonal and 5 vertical. Guess I must truly be a sideways cross stalker!
Great comparison !
That's awkward to hear about the shipping of the eBay item - it's good that nothing happened during transit.
Hi I messaged the ebay seller (tinatreea) aka the etsy seller (StellarOre) about the authenticity of her sideways cross and this was her response:
" I made the original cross that Roseark carried under my boutique name, Angelique Keenan Jewelry. Taylor is also an acquaintance through friends which is how she ordered the original cross from me through Kaviar and KInd, she got the first one I made as a custom order.
The store started making their own version, just this winter, so they to make a higher profit on it. I didn't have copyright on the design so they felt it was ok to do this.
Jewelry designs get knocked off of the little guys, like me , frequently.
I am also able to offer it at wholesale since I don't have a storefront and overhead.
I still wholesale this necklace at retail boutiques such as Madison Gallery (Malibu) and Broken English in brentwood.
I hope this answers your question.
Thanks for your interest!"
I rather buy the necklace from her since she was the original designer...

That depends.....I bought the ebay one for my mom and for the price I think it's very good. If I didn't spend so much time stalking this cross I wouldn't have noticed the difference (# of diamonds, clasps, etc.) However, there is no guarantee on the ebay one. At least I know if something happened to my Roseark's I could send it back to repaired. I think it just depends on whether or not you think the Roseark's one is worth the money that you'll pay.
I am extremly happy with my Roseark's one and hopefully my mom will like her's also.
