SOLD A Flamenco Dancer Brooch - by Lea Stein of Paris - Also Known as “SEVILLE” RARE

Here we have a rare and very special  Lea Stein brooch -

With this remarkable brooch Lea Stein celebrates the art of Flamenco with a stunning image of a dancer with an open Spanish fan.

The brooch shows the ivory toned hands and face with sleek, black hairstyle. The brooch is 3-D and has movement by nature of its design.  The dress and sleeves are frilled and blue. Blue and spotted layers swish at the hem and the bodice is picked out in a silver and white pattern where a layer of lurex fabric is encapsulated between the layers of cellulose acetate.  The fan is fully open with cut away layers of blue, pearl white and red 

This is a statement brooch of a large size measuring almost  4 inches by 2.5 inches at its widest points.  This brooch is a superb example of the techniques used by Lea Stein in her jewellery - it has layers of Rhodoid and the layering and curving of this material as well as the use of non plastic fabrics in these layers is used to great effect here.  To the back we have a white metal pin with guarded roll over style clasp and the all important LEA STEIN PARIS signatures.


LEA STEIN  was born in Paris in 1931 and worked in fashion. 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
