Take a look at this...
Ironically I couldn''t copy the picture, as the image is protected. Ironic, as I feel that the ring bears more than a passing resemblance to Eva Longoria''s wedding band. Well a cheap version thereof. (listed here, just page down a bit https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/updated-celebrity-rings.44492/)
So I got to thinking, particularly in a forum such as this. How much of our purchases reflect genuine personal taste and how much on fashion, trends or pure plagiarism.
For example, how many of us 3 years ago genuinely felt we couldn''t live without a rolling ring before Katie Homes/Cruise got one and for those who loved them regardless, surely it was frustrating to have something not so ''run of the mill'' become commonplace.
Or, does any of this matter?
Unless you buy bespoke who can claim originality?
Unless you hide the piece or patent that design who can keep originality?
When so many covetable designs exist, who wants originality?
What do you think? Would you care that you copied somebody elses ring, would you care if somebody else copied your ring?
