Is This A Copy ?

Love those Dennis - really beautiful! Especially the earrings.

I"m sure it would not be considered a copy. I agree with "inspiration". If you put the two pieces (bus on and yours) together you'd likely be amazed at how different they are.

I have had this happen to me just by chance. I made a pendant that I really liked. Took it to one of the stores that sell my wares and the owner who is also a jeweller said, this looks like one that was in Lapidary Journal mag in Sept! He hauled out the magazine and sure enough there was some similarity. They were different- but both based on similar curved design. I had never even seen that copy of the mag. He sold the piece right away and I never gave it another thought.

I love your piece. It is really gorgeous and beautifully executed!!! Kudos!
