Banana Republic biting MerCurios?

It appears MerCurios has quite the admirer, and I must admit I am a bit flattered.  On the left is a ring that just popped up at Banana Republic.  On the right is the original MerCurios design from March 2010.  We have been selling our ring for about a year now, and it has been featured in countless well-read Fashion Blogs - not to mention CLEO MAGAZINE...twice! (read all about it here and here.)


Of course the ring isn't going to be an EXACT duplicate; you are not going to get wire wrapping like that in a factory in China!

It's official! MerCurios doesn't follow the trends - WE SET THEM! ...I always knew I was ahead of the curve. ;)
