About the Item

Charming vintage Lea Stein ladybug brooch, one of the French designer's most beloved figural creations. Handcrafted in France from layered rhodoid (cellulose acetate), the ladybug is built up from multiple sheets of coloured and textured acetate, laminated together and hand-finished to give the piece its signature depth and warm glow. Lea Stein (b. 1931, Paris) began producing her distinctive laminated acetate jewellery in the late 1960s, and her figural brooches — ladybugs, foxes, cats and Art Deco faces — are now highly sought after by collectors worldwide. Each brooch is signed on the back with the characteristic V-shaped "Lea Stein Paris" pin fastening. A wonderful decorative piece, equally at home on a coat, blazer or scarf. Measures approximately 5 cm. Condition: excellent vintage condition with no repairs.
