Heidi Klum Sued Over Jewelry Design Similarities

December 27, 2007 | Filed Under Celebrity Brands, Jewellery

German supermodel Heidi Klum is being sued by luxury jeweller Van Cleef and Arpels because they claimed that she copied one of their jewelry designs, a vintage clover.

Now, granted the designs are very similar, so that doesn’t look good for Heidi. And they both are very pretty. Charm-like bracelets and necklaces are back in. Anyway, the company is suing Heidi’s company, Heidi Klum GmbH, and another company she designed for, Mouawad USA, another company she’s designed jewelry for in the past.

Problem is: There are a lot of similarities.

This is the Heidi Klum GmbH necklace (the Mouawad design is at the top):
