Its Thursday night and I am happily watching the funny shows I spend all week
looking forward to. Before I know whats happening, Jane Seymore is is the mirror
pitching new “Open Heart” necklace from Kay Jewelers. It looks so much like
Picasso’s Double Heart pieces, its not funny. So, here she brilliantly came up
with a name that happens to also be Elsa Peretti’s most iconic collection and it
looks suspiciously similar to a Paloma Picasso. She keeps referring to herself
as an artist. Really? I’m not seeing it.
A few months ago, Van Cleef and
Arpels filed suit against Heide Klum for designing a collection that looks
exactly like the VCA Alhambra design.

I guess everyone would love to be a
jewelry designer. That’s fine, but a real artist knows the value of a unique
design and the frustration of having work stolen. If these celebrities want to
call themselves designers and artists, how about some originality? Lots of
brilliant designers are able to come up with ideas that haven’t come out of
famous design houses, maybe Heide and Jane can take a lesson.

Inspired
and curious, I looking around eBay looking for Kay pieces. I happened to find an
interesting item from Mary Kay. A silver Floating Heart that, also, looks
suspiciously like a Tiffany Floating Heart (plus three dreck pink
crystals).

It’s an interesting gray zone we’re at. Some factory in China
makes Tiffany-esque pieces and they’re banned from ebay (in a shake that brings
many legit sellers with it, by the way), a domestic company blatantly flaunts
knock-offs and it’s celebrity art work.

Please
