Large Cilea Bijoux Paris “Coccinelle Belle” Ladybug Brooch

The brooch is large and was handcrafted by Cilea Bijoux in France from emaline, an enamelled resin. It is in the form of a red and black ladybug. A brooch pin is affixed to the reverse. The back is marked “Cilea Paris”.

Maison Cilea was established in 1992 in Paris France, when Stephane Ravel, previously an accountant, encountered the artist Monique Vedie and was inspired by the possibilities that the resin from Talosel, a cellulose acetate, offered in the innovative production of costume jewellery. He named the venture after his wife, and today their two daughters Ameline and Ambre continue the Cilea Bijoux adventure in creating fresh, flowery and fun treasures. Each Cilea Bijoux item is handcrafted – slight variations in colour and detail may occur.
