Rare Judith Ripka Sterling 18.60ct Diamonique 118 Facet 18/20" Necklace Ret $568

Description: Rare Judith Ripka Sterling 18.60ct Diamonique 118 Facet 18/20" Necklace NWT. I purchased this evening necklace for a Gala approximately seven years ago but never wore it. This necklace design is from Judith’s Couture Line that was made in Platinum and Diamonds. It has been stored in my climate controlled smoke free closet since that time. I love wearing Judith Ripka jewelry and have many of her pieces because you get the look of high end designer jewelry at a lower price in Sterling and Diamonique stones. I am selling some of my pieces because of age and retirement. I saw Judith Ripka many times on QVC and she explained that her mother was a jewelry designer and how she herself got started. It was a humble beginning with her children helping her with jewelry shows. She excelled in making functional but beautiful jewelry in gold, silver, and platinum. At the time I was watching her on QVC, she had two flagship stores on Madison Avenue in New York City. When QVC approached her about carrying a line for working class women in Silver and Diamonique, instead of 18kt Gold, Platinum, and Diamonds in her couture line, she agreed, recalling herself how hard it was to make ends meet and still look glamorous. She sold the same designs in her couture line for QVC in Sterling Silver, 14kt. Gold Clad Sterling Silver, and Diamonique simulated diamonds. She sold her company in 2014 has since left QVC in 2019 and retired. 118 facet Double Brilliance Diamonique, precision cut by Swarovski, creating maximum sparkle and shine on the triangular stations that alternate with open oval stations along entire length.Total Diamonique simulated diamonds (Cubic Zirconia) is 18.60 Ct.Bib Style design: Design is alternating stations of triangles with three prong-set, round simulated diamonds; open oval stations with bead-set, round simulated diamonds and semi-bezel-set, baguette simulated diamonds at bottom and a prong-set, oval-shaped simulated diamond center; textured oval link chain back.Judith Ripka signature lobster claw clasp with heart-shaped motif and round Diamonique stonesMeasures 18” L (Extension to 20”) x 3/8”WNot a heavy necklace but comfortable to wear: 38.33gOlive Green Faux Leather Necklace Box and Olive Green Faux Leather Storage Box Please look at all photos (some of the photos show reflections) and ask all questions prior to purchasing as we do not accept returns.
