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 colors & patterns. Buttons for her frocks were their first products; followed by brooches, bangles and earrings. Lea Stein loved to produce designs based on animals and flowers. 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 today.
