SOLD A Chief Brooch - Native American Indian Chief Pin by Lea Stein

Here we have a rare and fabulous Lea Stein brooch . This is Lea Stein’s take on a Native American Indian Chief. This is a brand new brooch and it is a superb example of the technique used by Lea Stein in her jewellery - it has lots of layers of Rhodoid and there is use of fabric material. The multi layering is used to great effect to create a feathered headdress in glittering red and gold. These colours contrast well with the cream face and red hair, black eyebrow and eye. Measuring 5.5cms by 5cms at its widest points this brooch would look great on any outfit or would be a brilliant addition to a collection of Lea Stein Paris Jewellery.  To the reverse there is a white metal pin, closing on a roll over style clasp. The “Y” shaped pin mount clearly marked with the designer’s name to one side “ Lea Stein” and the word “Paris” on the other.   Lea Stein jewellery has a fascinating history read more here:
 
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
