As if the four-leaf clover didn't exist before they did. I assume that the majority of us like clover-embellished jewelry because we find the design to be charming. Anyone who whines about designer knockoffs is a brand whore who needs the "status" association with designer brands in order to validate themselves. VC&A is being ridiculous.

Someone should alert Lucky Charms cereal! By the way, I thought the clover design belonged to Comme des Garcons....who is stealing from whom? Van Cleef has the monopoly on clover shapes?

I have always believed "Imitation is a form of flattery" and designers who price items at ridiculously high prices should know that those who can afford the real thing will always get the real thing. I got my alhambra clover from www.Kiikas.com for $54.00. The service was great and I got it super fast!! I agree with Pb, not everyone can afford designer prices!

There are many of us that love to keep up with the trend, but we are not able to afford original prices. Why not give the opportunity to the ones that cannot afford the real thing, but love to keep up with the hottest trend. The ones who can afford the real thing, will only buy the real thing if they like the style. So I do not think that the inspired will sell to everyone, only the ones that cannot afford it.

I assumed they were Van Cleef, but was surprised to find they were from her own line — and still darn expensive! I guess Van Cleef can rest assured that at least one person (moi) associates the clover design with them, but you're right, if they—or Heidi—expect top dollar for clovers, they're going to have to get to be a bit more iconic.
