Vintage Lea Stein Paris B&W Tortoise Brooch
About the Item
This Vintage Lea Stein Paris B&W Tortoise Brooch is a standout piece of vintage jewelry, known for its unique design and craftsmanship by Lea Stein, a renowned French jewelry designer famous for her use of cellulose acetate and distinctive animal motifs. Signature on the back.
The brooch features a tortoise design, with a striking black and white color scheme that gives it a bold, modern aesthetic. Lea Stein was known for her use of layered acetate, which allowed her to create vibrant, textured designs that had a dynamic, almost three-dimensional effect. The tortoise in the brooch could be composed of black-and-white patterned acetate, providing a contrasting yet harmonious color combination that is both eye-catching and elegant.
The tortoise is a recurring motif in Lea Stein's jewelry, and it is often depicted with intricate detailing to emphasize the animal's shell and features. In this brooch, the tortoise’s shell may have a detailed, textured appearance, created by layering the acetate material to enhance the design’s depth. The legs, head, and tail of the tortoise may be shaped in a subtle yet sculptural manner, adding to the brooch's overall charm.
