Original or Imitation Jewelry


I work with this amazing artist Hratch Babikian and he produces work inspired by Sea Urchins. Imagine my surprise today as I was reading news at the National Jewelry Network on new trends from Italian designers when I saw an almost exact replica of Hratch's work. I do believe that two people can by coincidence come up with a similar design but in this case Hratch has been making his Sea Urchin jewelry since forever and it has been featured almost everywhere. So you be the judge, is it original or is it an imitation?
