Britney Spears shared a surprising Instagram post on Wednesday, shortly after she teased her fans about her upcoming jewelry line.
The 43-year-old former singer, who showed off a new dance in a blue bikini earlier in the day, reposted a photo of a baby’s hand adorned with jewels.
The chubby closed fist had a ring with a gold band and a heart-shaped design decorated with small diamonds on his index finger, as well as a tight gold bracelet on his wrist.
“OMG OMG OMG amazing,” she wrote, while tagging the account where it apparently originated.
Just an hour earlier, Britney reposted the apparent logo for her proposed jewelry collection, B Tiny, which she wrote was “Coming soon… (red rose emojis).”
It’s unclear if she was inspired by the jewelry in the baby’s hand photo or just thought it was too cute not to share.
Britney Spears shared a surprising Instagram post on Wednesday when she posted a photo of a baby’s hand wearing a ring and a diamond-encrusted heart-shaped bracelet on an account that often posts AI-generated images of babies.
“OMG OMG AMAZING,” she wrote, shortly before teasing her fans about her plans to launch a jewelry line called B Tiny.
The image may not even depict a real baby, as the account she reposted it from often shares AI-generated images.
The bracelet around the baby’s wrist appeared to have some type of molded or engraved text that was confusing, and nonsense text is a hallmark of AI-generated images.
The unusual baby photo raises more questions about whether Britney’s announced jewelry line is actually in the works.
Earlier this month, a DailyMail.com investigation raised suspicions about whether the “one-of-a-kind” works are his original works.
The singer appears to be using photographs of the ‘artistic pieces’ that are identical to those on other jewelry websites.
He teased his fans in early December with an Instagram post promising that the arrival of his new brand was imminent, captioning a mail with ‘Coming soon!!!’.
Britney had been hinting at the arrival of the brand since November 3 and gradually unveiled new designs that were promoted as part of his own collection.
Over the course of this month, for example, the pop star posted hand chains that she promoted as her own design.
Britney has been teasing the launch of her new jewelry brand B Tiny, which she describes as “one of a kind,” but the photos and products she’s been showing her fans appear to have already sold out on other websites.
Britney showed off a chain on Nov. 15 that wrapped around her middle finger and had a clear jewel in the center.
The photo in that November post has the same piece and the same photo as another brand Truly Blessed Jewels.
On Nov. 15, he showed off a chain that wrapped around a woman’s middle finger and had a clear jewel in the center.
But an identical piece has been available for sale on the website. Truly blessed jewelrycalled Francesca CZ Hand Chain and priced at $118.
Not only is the piece exactly the same, but so is the photo she used, with the only difference being that Britney has her brand name on top.
In another post on November 7, she used designs from another jeweler, The Littl. he photo It featured classic sterling silver rings and a matching chain with pearl inserts.
The Littl set the price of a single ring along with the chain at $52.50. Five of the rings and chain cost $115.50, which is 20 percent off the sticker price.
But Britney promoted the set as her own in a November 4 Instagram Post: ‘My first jewelry line coming soon!!! Delicate pieces that are extremely different and unique!!! I’m so excited!!!
‘Realizing how cool it is to be an artist who can be passionate in so many different ways!!!’ B Tiny coming soon!!! ‘Girls, you’re going to love it!!!’
He also showed an image of what appeared to be his own hand with a silver chain with a series of turquoise stones and another gold chain with a green stone on top of his silver piece.
Britney appears to have reused the exact same product photo that was published by The Littl: The photo featured classic sterling silver rings and a matching chain that had the same pearl inserts.
Britney showed an image of what appeared to be her own hand wearing a silver chain with a series of turquoise stones and another gold chain with a green stone on top of her silver piece.
The ‘made to order’ silver hand chain originated from the TatiRocks Etsy shop and is called ‘Sadie Turquoise Hand Chain’. It costs $126.75 and features a turquoise gemstone with the option of a silver or gold chain.
The “custom made” silver hand chain originated from the TatiRocks Etsy shop and is called “Sadie Turquoise Hand Chain”. It costs $126.75.
Fans were quick to point out that the products were identical and commented on TatiRocks’ Instagram post featuring the piece.
The description is a “fun and festive turquoise hand chain decorated with genuine turquoise stones and a center teardrop turquoise stone.”
Customers could opt for the gold or silver chain. They could also change the stone for Black Spinel, Crystal Quartz, Green Onyx or Moonstone.
Fans were quick to point out that the products were identical and commented on TatiRocks’ Instagram post featuring the piece, claiming that Britney had taken the product from the site and combined the hand chain with another to pass it off as her own.
A fan said: “This one is almost identical, but it looks like Britney has another one along with it.”
fans in a The Reddit forum speculated over whether or not Britney was copying other brands’ designs, but some users claimed that this was how the jewelry industry operated.
‘This is the least original gem. “People have been making this style of jewelry for decades,” commented one user.
“Unless she stole an image and claims it as her own, both are “scams” or “theft” of a design that has been done before by countless people.”
This Christmas ornament featuring Britney’s iconic debut studio album…Baby One More Time is $20 on her merchandise website.
Britney’s green ‘I’m A Sleigh For You’ Christmas sweater sold on her merchandise website costs a hefty $85.

What Britney could have done with this launch is dropshipping, which is why many jewelry brands sell similar looking pieces. In this business model, Britney would never have to maintain inventory or manage shipping, but instead focus solely on marketing the product.
Another fan on the forum questioned her competence, but stated that this was not the first time the pop star had embarked on a business in which she had no experience.
In 2018, Britney launched a fashion and lifestyle brand with music retail brand company Epic Rights: it was intended to feature fashion clothing, hair care and accessories.
It also sells clothing and accessories on its official website, charging a high price for various themed items after the holidays.
Just one topper that says ‘Baby One More Time’ costs $20, while a 20-square-foot roll of wrapping paper with “Merry Britmas” written on it costs a staggering $24.95.
Meanwhile, a green ‘I’m A Sleigh For You’ Christmas sweater will surely set you back a hefty $85.
Neither Britney nor representatives of the three jewelry brands in question responded to DailyMail.com’s request for comment.
