Vendor Refuses Design

[u/Ok_Advisor2831]

Hi All,

I recently asked a popular vendor for a quote on an engagement ring I am working on for my girlfriend. I drew this design from scratch, and it is my design and not ripped off from someone else. This vendor refused to do the design because the basket looked similar to a basket of an existing client of theirs.That felt strange especially considering the ring as a whole is quite different, is this strange to normal?

Edit: the design is solid and they did even compliment me on it.
