Diamonique - An Affordable Alternative to a Diamond

Amy Witthohn
So, I've noticed when going places that more and more women have these large beautiful bridal sets and rings. I thought to myself, geez, I thought the economy was doing bad. Then, I glanced at my own thin gold band in comparison. Now usually things like ring size do not bother me, but when "everyone" has a beautiful set then it leaves a person wondering. So, finally I asked some lady where she bought her beautiful diamond solitaire. I thought maybe a local jeweler was having an amazing sale, and if so, I wanted in on it. She leaned over to me and said in a lowered voice "It's Diamonique, it's not real." I could not believe my ears. She then told me "it was exclusively sold at QVC." Her ring was a 2 carat solitaire that she bought on clearance for under 60.00 and the kicker was it comes with a lifetime warranty. So, if that Diamonique discolors or chips... etc then they will replace it for free. Now that's amazing. The fire on that ring was phenomenal and I could have swore it was a "REAL" diamond.

I decided to do a little research on this beautiful stone, for all of us money savers and of course for the sake of having a ring that looks that beautiful. These stones are very easy to clean and you can use jewelry cleaner, but make sure you read the instructions. You can also clean with warm water and liquid soap, combine and let the ring soak for 10-20 minutes. Then using a soft bristled brush, brush around the Diamonique and the ring in circular strokes. Dry with a soft cloth. The complete instructions are on the QVC.com website.

Diamonique stones are manufactured from the finest rough, there are no inclusions. Diamonique stones are cut in all shapes; the most popular being round, marquise, emerald, pear, oval and square. The carat size of a diamonique is equal to that of a regular diamond. They are made to have the look and brilliance of real diamonds at a fraction of the cost. Diamondique can be set in silver, gold or platinum. Or you can purchase Diamonique epiphany platinum over sterling silver for a really good price. The Diamonique stone is available in all colors; some include red, yellow, green, blue, pink and violet. They can also be purchased as simulated gemstones.

So, of course after finding out all this great information and seeing the pictures on the QVC website, I had to purchase a set of my own. I bought a bridal set and it was the best 45.00 that I have ever spent in my life. My diamonique stone is 2 carats and it is set in the epiphany style, and then the wedding band has 5 baguette's. I have received compliments on these rings everywhere I go. Even if you have a real diamond, it would be worth the investment for casual everyday wear and then bring out the real thing for special events. I can tell everyone this diamonique may not replace diamonds, but it will certainly come close.

I live life to the fullest extent that I can, I have 2 daughters 11 months apart and the antics that they do on a daily basis will keep me on my toes for a long time.  View profile

    Dimonique means you can have the look without been loaded, It's fantastic i wear mine all the time, the only problem i have come across is i preffer the styles on the american site better than the uk site but unfortunatley they don't ship to the uk.

    I have a diamonique bridal set also. I find myself looking at it quite often. I have received so many compliments on how beautiful it is. I love it! My husband did a great job picking it out.

    Diamonique is my dirty little addiction. I love it!!! But my husband lets me indulge because it is affordable BUT it still makes him look good (since everyone thinks his wife is laden with diamonds). I'll never buy a real dimond; not when I can have diamonique by the boatloads instead. I'm glad you wrote this story. I was thinking of doing it myself but you said it all!

    My husband is big on letting me purchase real diamond rings as we can afford them. I have a couple of beautiful diamond and saphire rings. The kicker is I can purchase them only when we have the extra money. With this diamonique thing I could possible own more beautiful rings quicker. Thanks for the information. I am off to shop now.
