Is the Etoile Setting that difficult to replicate exactly like the original? (pics attached)

[GDTRFB]

I attached an image of the setting for the WF Etoile version and the original Tiffany''s Etoile version. Is it difficult to replicate the exact style of the bezel on the Tiffany''s? Just wondering why the WF version''s bezel doesn''t look as sleek and clean as the original.

Has anyone gotten an etoile style setting made where the bezel looks identical to the Tiffany''s original? It looks like there are more curves and overall quality on the Tiffany''s setting - just wondering if it''s really that difficult to replicate or if the WF version is just their own take on it but can easily be adjusted to look like the original.

Thanks!

To be honest, I don''t think any ethical jeweler will make an exact copy of an original design. Which would explain why WF''s version has some differences. If you want the original, then stick with Tiffs.
