The storm over Maayan Adam's jewelry brand, Madame, seems to be refusing to forget.
Recall that photos published in "Israel Today" revealed that a person has identical designs to jewelry found on the Chinese "Ali Express" and "Shine" sites, and that this is a huge difference in prices.
All this raised the question, is this original jewelry?
The reactions to the post I posted on Instagram were sharp.
"Want jewelry? Buy from people who really invest their lives in it because it's their true love, and of course because they understand it, live the art everyday and create the jewelry themselves. If you decide to buy the jewelry or makeup of one celebrity or another, you will know What to expect ", was written in one response.
"Every oasis today has also become a jewelry designer, owner of a makeup or clothing line company, so competition in the market may increase, but the cheapness of the products is not surprising and the originality is dead," read another comment.
Similar to the "Actors 'Protest," about celebs having nothing to do with acting, slipping into shows and taking the place of talented people who went to acting school, so too do jewelry designers and image makers seem angry about celebs' leakage into their field.

"I have to respond to this phenomenon as a jewelry designer who did a bachelor's degree in jewelry design at Shenkar," says Meitar Weiman, who has her own brand.
"This phenomenon of influencers living in a movie and opening a 'brand' of jewelry is just a disgrace. Everything is on a very poor level, it's a disregard for customers' intelligence."
"It's existing designs that they simply copy from other designers or, as in the case of Maayan, from Ali Express. It hurts the industry fatally. There is no shortage of jewelry designers in the field who specialize in the field and bring originality to the field. "Her captive audience account. It annoys me that everyone stays in their field," she adds.
"If you have already decided to enter the field of jewelry, at least maintain your respect for your audience and connect with real designers in the field and pick up something new, interesting and high quality. This is such a difficult field in the country in the first place. "Such phenomena simply leave this field flat and cheap, and it steals the stage for the art and crazy fashion that this field has to offer," she concluded.
It will be recalled that Maayan Adam responded to the remarks and said that "I am at all ashamed that anyone thinks so or believes that I can buy for a few shekels and sell. It is not the same piece of jewelry even if it looks exactly the same. "The level of the zipper, but no one thinks that Gucci bought for two shekels and sells for two million."
