Maybe we can trust in good old Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamonique

See! Diamonique IS cubic zirconia, and QVC have owned the technology and rights since 1988.

Interestingly the Diamonique name was used on a range of synthetic garnets manufactured in the 70s! Would LOVE to see those!

I can actually see a gem of an article coming up!

Oooh! A bit more digging and I've found the info on the cheap garnets!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yttrium_aluminium_garnet

And here's some more info on various diamond simulants:

The Diamonique trademark was registered in 1986 and has been renewed. It is owned by NSBTC inc, who in 2010 were involved in a lawsuit:

There's nowt wrong with a bit of eek. Nowt much right with Simon Biagi I fear. He's the one presenter I've always found uncomfortable to watch.

Wow! Do you keep it on your window sill as a suncatcher? Bet it works better than Kirk's Folly. Remember that demented silly cow that used to try and con us into thinking that her hurling glitter at a camera was spreading light and love in the world? Haven't seen here in a while. Maybe she's been kidnapped by her fairies!

one of the main things that i believe made diamonique better than cz from other places is the brilliant cuts they did. i have some cz in gold from john lewis and the diamomique has more facets and sparkles more

Oh yes, wasn't there a super duper bejewelled charity crown that Debs gave away or something like that?

I have a ring and earrings in eek which are 14CT gold and are lovely, but, the last I got in silver are nowhere near as good. I do like silver so maybe eek looks better set in gold IMO.
