Meet our Face of Diamonique finalists

You may remember that back in September we launched our competition to find QVC's new Face of Diamonique. The lucky winner will be appearing on air during Diamonique Day on Thursday 29th October.

We caught up with the finalists when they came in for their auditions to find out a little bit more about them and why they think they could be the next Face of Diamonique.

I spotted the advert for the competition when I was watching one of the Diamonique shows a few weeks ago, and I just knew I had to enter because I LOVE the jewellery so much!

I work at a college advising students on courses and I wear Diamonique to work almost every day. I'm a bit of an exhibitionist so the sparkliness of the jewellery really reflects all the facets of my personality!

I watch QVC all the time and I love the beauty and make-up brands that you sell. That's how I first discovered Diamonique; it was the next show after a beauty hour that I'd tuned in for, and I decided to watch the first five minutes to see what it was all about - I was instantly hooked!

My whole family loves shopping with QVC, we consider it our own 'secret shop'! It's such a relaxing experience to going out on the high street, and you know that each time you open a package you're guaranteed something of great quality.

I'm spreading the word about Diamonique and QVC among my friends, but sometimes if it's a piece I really want to keep just to myself, I'll tell them that I bought it from some obscure shop so they can't copy me!


Sonia Shah

It was my mum Ramila that first heard about the Face of Diamonique competition. She watches QVC all the time and spotted the ad on air. As soon as she found out about it she said I should enter - and kept leaving me 'reminder' notes all around the house about it until I'd filmed my entry!

I sent the tape in weeks ago and then forgot all about it, to be honest I didn't think I'd hear anything more. So when the phone rang and it was QVC saying that I'd made it to the final shortlist, I was amazed!

I'd like to be the Face of Diamonique as I love the jewellery and I think it would be a great way to spread the word. My mum bought me my very first piece of Diamonique jewellery and now I buy it for all my freinds too.

We tend to do all our Christmas shopping with QVC as it means you don't have to battle through lots of crowds and your time is your own. We've always had such professional service and care from QVC, and everything seems to arrive so quickly.

My own favourite Diamonique pieces are the more subtle designs that I can wear day to day, though if I'm going to a party I'll put on a big statement necklace to really wow! Mum also has lots of Diamonique - some of it is over 10 years old and it still looks as amazing now as the day she bought it. There aren't many jewellery brands you can say that about!


Sophia Barnes

I've been a fan of QVC and particularly Diamonique for years, so when I saw your competition I thought to myself 'Why not?!'. I've bought lots of Diamonique jewellery and I thought this could be my chance to show just how much I enjoy it.

I'm a bursar at a primary school in Sutton and I accessorise with Diamonique every day. When people ask me where my jewellery comes from, they're always surprised when I say it's from QVC.

Wearing my Diamonique makes me feel good and I love to let everyone know where I bought it - I think everybody should have the opportunity to enjoy Diamonique just as much as I do.

My daugther has just turned 13 and she's just getting into Diamonique too. I think it's a great introduction to jewellery as it's fun and sparkly, but not too expensive or so precious that it's too special to wear.

I tend to wear one statement piece of Diamonique, and rings are a particular favourite - I have 40 or so at the moment, and the collection is growing! I love to look down and admire the stones glistening on my finger; it's almost mesmerising. My favourite piece of all is the Princess Cut Signature Ring from Tova's Diamonique range.

Today has been wonderful. I've seen behind the scenes, met the lovely Anthony and got to talk about my passion - Diamonique! The chance to model on TV on Diamonique Day would be a dream for me - I just hope it comes true!

We'll be announcing the winner of the Face of Diamonique soon, so keep checking back in QGossip for the results.

Congratulations to Sophia on becoming the face of Diamonique. I'm proud of my sister Sonia for getting to the final 3! However, I would have to say that Sonia and my mum are the biggest Diamonique fans!

The other girls look great, however I would put my money on Sonia Shah, She looks outstanding and looks the part as a Face of Diamonique.

[Disha Kotecha]

I am a great fan of diamonique myself but reading all the comments from the finalist I would have to definitely say Sonia Shah stands out by miles.
Shes also got the diamonique face to compliment diamonique jewellery!
Good Luck Sonia.

Sonia looks like a true diamonique star. The other ladies look nice too, but for me Sonia shines.
