Flower Pot Brooch - Everlasting Blooms by Lea Stein Paris (SOLD)

This is a very colourful and jolly brooch from the French Designer Lea Stein.  The brooch is made from acrylic plastic with cellulose acetate or Rhodoid and is very light and easy to wear.  It features two flower blooms in a tortoiseshell effect pot with golden leaves. The purple bloom has a crackled effect and the green flower is plain and shiny both have bright red middle and five petals.  The brooch has a 3-D effect when worn. This flower pot brooch measures approximately 5.5 by 4.5 cms at its widest parts and has the traditional Lea Stein pin back with a roll-over type fastener.  The piece is signed - 'Lea Stein, Paris'. This is a contemporary design from Lea Stein.

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.
Each brooch has the trademark ‘V’ shaped pin on the back and is signed: ‘LEA STEIN PARIS’. 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 today.
