A 1970s Little Yellow Bow Brooch - Lea Stein Pin - Tie A Yellow Ribbon…

This is a delightful early Lea Stein small Bow brooch.  This Vintage tied ribbon pin from Lea Stein of Paris is nearly 50 years old. It is also a clever technical piece of work with many crackled layers of white and yellow used within the cellulose acetate to create it. From the side it has the look of a perfect lemon drop or maybe a lemon sherbet sweet! This pretty bow brooch is Vintage dating to the 1970's. In excellent condition the brooch measures approximately 1.75 inches  by almost 1inch at its tallest and widest  parts.  This Yellow Bow pin has the same white and lemon pattern to the reverse.   Every piece of jewellery created by Lea Stein is unique due to the hand made process.  This collectable brooch has the wishbone shaped white metal pin with roll over 'c' clasp bearing the words "Lea Stein , PARIS".   Lea Stein's brooches always sit beautifully and the lightness of the plastics ensure they are suitable for your lighter fabrics like linen but they are equally at home on the lapel of a heavy winter coat.  This  vintage 1970's tortoise brooch is a remarkable design from Lea Stein who is famed for her jewellery, particularly her animal designs which have featured cats, foxes, dogs, birds and many other things over her history.   Here is a little more information about Lea Stein and her fabulous and whimsical jewellery.....

LEA STEIN  was born in Paris in 1931 and worked as a dress designer. She began making her now famous Jewellery when her  husband, Fernand Steinberger, ( a Plastics Chemist ) discovered a process of laminating cellulose acetate to create a unique range of colours & patterns.
Buttons for her frocks were their first products; followed by brooches, bangles and earrings. The factory was forced to close in the 1980’s but has since re-opened much to the relief of costume jewellery collectors and Lea Stein fans. Lea Stein loves to produce designs based on animals and flowers. Now she is quite an elderly lady but still introduces a couple of new designs each year.
The manufacturing process used means that no two pieces are exactly alike. The fabulous designs, the ease of wearing and their quirky appeal are just some of the reasons why they are so collected around the world
