Lea Stein
We have been collecting Lea Stein’s celluloid jewelry from France since 1981. Our extensive collection includes many rare and unusual early pieces, including the connoisseur and beginning collector pieces almost impossible to locate on the open market.
Her signed pins, as well as her rings, bracelets and necklaces are recognizable and desirable for their extraordinary colors, textures and patterns, derived from her own unique hands-on lamination process. This process ensures that no two pieces are exactly alike.
Lea Stein’s work is included in authoritative collectors’ resource books on plastic jewelry. For our collectors, we suggest the following:
