Handmade Small Cilea Bijoux Paris “Bourdon” Bumblebee Brooch

The brooch was handcrafted by Cilea Bijoux in France from emaline, an enamelled resin. It is small in size and features a black and gold bumblebee with clear wings. A brooch pin is affixed to a panel on the reverse. The panel 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.
