Carolee copies Cartier

I leafing throught this beautiful book from the library, American Jewelry, Glamour and Tradition by Penny Proddow and debra Healy, when I was struck by the similarity of the Cartier designs and the Carolee pin I have.  I love the copy aspect of costume jewelry.  Carolee did a great job here.  Found this pin at the Salvation Army in Chicago.  While Carolee's version is gold-tone,  Cartier brooch in the middle is platinum.
