Sold A Crocodile Brooch By Lea Stein of Paris - or Maybe an Alligator Pin

Sweet, Neat and Petite! Here is an unusual and hugely charming reptile brooch from the famed Parisian Jewellery designer, Lea Stein. Is it a Crocodile or is it an Alligator? Croc or Gator you decide! I rarely get this particular brooch and when I do it always makes me smile, it has humour and is very appealing.  This little creature is in an off white colour, the laminate has fine stripes. The ball eye has layers of black, brown and white and is like a perfect miniatures of the beads that Lea Stein used to make. This cheeky croc pin or maybe its an alligator brooch is a fabulous item of costume jewellery and a real statement piece for your wardrobe or collection. In a typical reptilian pose with tail curved up and mouth closed while he surveys his surroundings,  he is ready for action!  Lea Stein's brooches were first designed in the 1960s and are as popular now as they were back then.  This is a more recent design and in keeping with her Iconic Fox and Cat pins is made from cellulose acetate.

This contemporary Crocodile pin or Alligator brooch measures almost 3.25 inches by three quarters of an inch approximately at its longest and widest parts.  This is a cheerful choice and will look fabulous on denim, black or bright outfits.  The reverse of this brooch is finished in the same off-white colour.  It has the traditional white metal wishbone shaped Lea Stein pin back with a roll-over type fastener. The piece is signed - 'Lea Stein, Paris'.
