Yes you and others may find Marla Gulotta's design similar to Laura Gibson....But then Laura Gibson's designs are similar to that of jewelry designers Mallery Marks, and Dana Kellin, BoJC...and Marla Gulotta for that matter!!!
Gemstones dangling from chains is a very in style trend right now. Wire wrapping stones to chains has been around forever, centuries before Laura Gibson, or any current designer existed, so I doubt anyone these days can claim they are the first to do so.
Marla Gulotta's design on the current BeadStyle cover is bright and fun and will inspire readers to make one of their own. It is especially inspiring to those just starting out in jewelry making as it is so simple to do. Marla's doubling up on the stones and crystals is a nice little difference too. Good for Marla !!!
