The Battle of The Hearts

Now as far as I know, there is no legal battle between the two companies, Tiffany and Kay Jewelers, but I believe they should. Why? Jane Seymours' Open Heart looks a lot like the Paloma Picasso Loving Heart. When I first saw the Seymour/Kay copy, I first thought of the Picasso/Tiffany design.

I'm not trying to start a fight, or pretend that I know all-things legal when it comes to designs, but if I'm seeing the direct correlation, other less jewelry savvy people are too.

I know they are two different customers which they know the difference. But what about the first time customer? Does Tiffany think they are to good for them or do they believe this battle will be won by the customers themselves?


Okay so the Tiffany heart pendant is made out of platinum and the Kay heart pendant is made out of 14kt white gold, that doesn't make it 'right' to copy someone else hard and profitable work.
