    It has attractive coloures i think .It is not stamped Lea Stein .The brooch 20240115_124400_001_resize_25.jpg 20240115_124430_resize_69.jpg 20240115_124550_resize_64.jpg is plastic with a metal V shaped clasp stamped western Germany.am reading that some of leas Steins early claspes were stamped western germany.

    Pretty brooch, probably 1950s, given the boomerang pin back, but not by Léa Stein.
    That is where those findings (generic jewellery parts) were often made.
    Léa Stein would have bought the findings wholesale, and fitted them on her brooch fronts. The manufacturer of your brooch would have done the same.

    Germany exported findings all over the world. You can even find beautiful Japanese damascene jewellery with German findings.

    I strongly suspect that’s a hobby kit piece.

    I'd say the front is made too well, unless the hobbyist was Kyra's grandmother or similar. I'd agree about it being 1950s though.
