Diamonique week

I had an e-mail from Q with highlights of the week. I must be sickening for something because nothing appealed to me at all

I wouldn't be swayed just because a so-called celebrity had allegedly endorsed something - not that I consider the bra woman to be a celebrity and quite why she got a peerage I do not know! - but I bought a canary coloured Diamonique ring from her range in Clearance for about £10 and it's very nice.

I think that's the one cut that eek doesn't work as well in. I don't know why. I've bought a couple of pieces only be be disappointed but you might have hit on the explanation there Frazz.

I bought a pretty eek ring just before Christmas with MOP shoulders. Pretty and it was less than £15 all in. Haven't bought anything else though for a while. Think it's really because, like many us, I've got all the basics and the newer designs just don't seem to catch my eye. Me wallet is grateful at least.

Oh and me Liv. All those different semi precious stones set in silver. I loved it. In fact I am wearing a black calcite heart pendant today and a black agate heart ring. Both from QVC but there's nothing vaguely like it any more.

Was that recently Nellie , it sounds a real bargain? I had a look on Q but couldn't see anything similar. 

On another note, I can't recall seeing Genetta and her Veronese range in the recent past?

I popped into a local gift store this afternoon wanting to take a look at their lovely display case of sparkly silver jewellery......they do have a sale on.

But it wasn't there...

So I asked a sales lady who told me that Swarovski have withdrawn all their stock and now only sell their goods in their own retail stores or online. Apparently they no longer have third party retailers selling any of their goods! Hmmm.
