Great Minds Think Alike About Floral Rings

February 21, 2008 by WendyB

It’s said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Original Diorette ring by Dior.
More variations can be seen here.

Juicy Couture’s ring via The Glam Guide

I hope Juicy doesn’t decide to pay me a compliment like this. Thanks, but no thanks.

    Yikes! It’s the butterfly that really puts it over the edge for me.

    I definitely like the Dior ring better – it’s much more grown-up. But I guess those who wear Juicy who are over the age of 30 are in a state of arrested development, eh?

    “Messy Couture”

    I prefer the Dior, for the coloration and the scale. The more random Juicy looks like something you’d find in your grandmother’s jewelry case, which was filled with tat from the five and ten.

    I must say, despite the shamless copying from Juicy Couture I quite like both rings. Its cute!

    Miss J isn’t too fond of either. Personalyl she prefers that gorgeous Sunflower ring WedndyB had on here a week or two back.

    wow that is the most obvious imitation ever, it really kinda bothers me

    what? you wouldn’t be honored if jc comes out with a line of queen jewels???

    Dior did it first and best.

    Try as they might, Juicy couldn’t touch you.

    The Dior is beautiful, the Juicy doesn’t have it.

    Imitation rarely surpasses the original. (Except where Shakespeare, the Beatles, and Ms. Brandes’ Boleyn necklace are in discussion.)

    Which also reminds me– I couldn’t help but think of you as I read “The Other Boleyn” every time they mentioned her “B” necklace.

    I remember swooning over that Dior ring when I first saw it in an ad in a magazine. I still love it!
