Okay- I got the earrings today. Super quick delivery. I like them a lot! They are bigger than my earrings, but they are sparkle and shine. They don't look like glass though- like a lot of CZ's at Walmart, etc. I think they really could pass for real, esp. on the ears. I don't know if I'd believe a 3 carat solitaire, but for smaller carat weights, I think it would totally work. The studs are really pretty and I'm pleased w/ the purchase. I just hope they stay looking nice.
 
^ I will. I just got my first digital camera- so behind the times- and am having trouble w/ close up shots and things that are shiny looking fuzzy. I need to read the manual first, or it will all be just a big blur!
 
Can someone share pictures? I'm a chronic earring loser and just ordered 1.5ct princess studs from qvc...I'll post mine when it gets here. Would love to see some tacori pieces!!
 
I think by now everyone has answered your question...QVC calls their cz's Diamonique to give it an allure......I have a bracelet at least ten years old and it looks great.....everyone thinks it real.....so if it helps, the quality of their stones is excellent. Z
 
I love diamonique. I travel a lot and after a mishap with my jewels a few years ago I am careful what I take on vacation etc.
I have had fabulous experiences with qvcs jewelry. People believe what they want to but the smaller to medium size pieces are so believable.

I actually have a pair of 100 facet studs from the diamonique line which I wear an awful lot. They sparkle like crazy and my husband didnt believe they were fake until I showed him the receipt. The great thing is I have some great diamond jewelry but I can't afford every new style comes out, so I buy from qvc too. I also wear the real stuff at the same time and nobody can tell.

I love it! I think its great quality for the price! I reccomend the 100 facet line to anyone.
 
I am against cz and diamond replicas. I understand why people wear them due to horrible losses with the real stones but I really do not see myself ever wearing or buying a non real diamond. I also watch QVC and drool over how nice they look and how affordable they are . It just feels wrong to me because i know its not a real diamond and i wouldnt want anyone else thinking it is.

This also goes for replica purses..
 
^^
That's great for you! I don't think any of us on this thread are into "replica" purses.....there's a big difference!!! For me, I can afford real diamonds, but I choose not to spend my money in that way. I like fun and trendy styles and I'm not going to pay the prices for something that will be out in a year or two, so I go the diamonique route. I have a real Rolex with a diamond bezel and a 2 carat heart shaped diamond solitaire.....the diamonique looks great alongside them and my friends can't tell the difference nor do they care! I'm not trying to fool anyone....when they ask, I tell them what it is.
 
I guess in my area i notice a ton of people wearing fake diamonds for the sole purpose of looking rich and important. aka 2ct in each ear.. in the ghetto

Do you have pictures of your heart shape ring? I would love to see it!
 
I guess I don't see wearing diamonique or CZs with my real diamonds as any different than wearing a Target t-shirt with Manolos. Sure, Target probably sells the same white v-neck 3/4 sleeve T as Saks does, just with a different label, but that doesn't mean it's wrong to buy the cheap one, and even to wear it with your $200 jeans, $800 shoes and $2000 bag.

I also think that, in general, the conversation is exactly opposite with natural vs. man made diamonds from what it is with real vs. fake bags. They aren't making (as far as I know) CZs in sweat shops. Lives are lost because of "blood diamonds." I am completely against companies/individuals selling CZs as "natural" or "lab grown" diamonds when they clearly aren't, because that's dishonest and illegal, just like it's dishonest and illegal to buy and sell fake bags. But I personally don't have a problem with a $25 pair of CZ earrings, as long as the buyer is aware of the facts.

Like a previous poster said, I am honest about a CZ when asked. Generally though, I get "those are pretty earrings," to which I respond "thank you." But if someone asks where I got them or if they're real, I'm honest. And sometimes I have even been known to say that my ering is fake. There are times and places when I don't necessarily want everyone in earshot to see my ring finger as a target.
