Lee Sands Hawaiian Tiger Sponge Coral Inlay Mother of Pearl Lion Head Brooch

Lee Sands Hawaiian Tiger Sponge Coral Inlay Mother of Pearl Lion Head Brooch

$40.00

Materials and Features:

  • Inlaid mother of pearl shell and tiger sponge coral into black resin plastic

  • Laminated lion head brooch by Hawaiian artist / designer Lee Sands - crafted in the Philippines

  • Since coral collection and mining was banned worldwide in 1992, it is very difficult to find such beads and inlay as these. There is also currently a ban on importing corals from the Philippines so pieces like this can no longer be manufactured.

Type: Standard roll-over clasp

Age/Origin: Late 1970’s - 1980’s

Marks: Unmarked

Other: Inspired by the stunning island of Hawaii, Lee Sands' exquisite jewelry collection owes its beauty to the natural world. Each dreamy piece is made from natural materials - including lustrous cultured pearls, ancient amber, vibrant gems, delicate shells and polished wood. Because each piece is made from natural materials, it means that it is unique. Designer Lee Sands started his Hawaiian enterprise in 1975. His first creations were made from puka shells - in fact it was Lee who brought this classic Hawaiian handicraft to the world. But it was actually his discovery of eel skin leather in the 1980’s that made him world-renowned in the fashion industry. Lee Sands' original designs fall into three lines: Pearls of Wisdom, Eclectic and Glam Rocks.
