Marc JACOBS is quite the prankster. In September, the spirited designer staged his runway show in reverse. Then he designed a Louis Vuitton bag covered in bad jokes. Now, Jacobs is trying to pull a fast one by selling two nearly identical floral rings that come with one big difference -- a whopping $875 price gap.
The oversized poppy design comes in two versions. One is from Jacobs' high-end collection ($907), while the other is from his mass Marc by Marc Jacobs line ($32). Both feature layers of crystal-studded petals in a Monet-like palette of cool blues and soft pinks, though the Marc Jacobs Collection crystals are Swarovski. Each is decorated by a floating circle of nailheads that represents pistils and stamens.
