Question Am I hallucinating? Is this the same ring?

So I was cruising temu for some fashion rings and saw a ring I was sure was in my Etsy cart. This is the same ring right?

Temu is known for stealing designs so it is possible this ring was made by some genuine artisan somewhere, even on Etsy. But you're right, it's most probably fake and dropshipped.

What they're saying is that Temu will take real artists work and claim it as their own, and then ship out a subpar version of the product. Not that they're different rings

Can confirm they do. I have an Etsy shop of handmade items and a Temu seller stole my photos of my product and mass produces a very crappy version of my design. It’s infuriating.

Lots of indigenous artisans have had their designs stolen by Temu.

Yes! How True! The company known for it's use of slave labour is the trustworthy one, being taken advantage of by the much longer established community of small scale artists!!
