Amazing Adornments Jewel of the Month – COPPOLA e TOPPO
Founder (s): Founder (s): Lyda Toppo and Bruno Coppola Milan Italy ~1941 - 1986
This brother and sister team designed jewelry for some of the most famous fashion houses including Christian Dior, Valentino and Schiaparelli. Their jewelry has adorned many models on the catwalk as well as countless Hollywood stars.
The early pieces of the 1940s used a mark that was named after Lyda's dog "Mikey". During the 1950s this hallmark changes to the "Made in Italy by Coppola e Toppo" mark.
The bold and very elaborate designs were a departure in style for the times and soon gained a following outside of the couture world. Soon the extravagant costume jewelry was being sold at the finest stores such as Neiman Marcus in the United States.
In 1972 the company is taken over by a large Italian company and continues production until 1986.
Jewelry by Coppola e Toppo is sought after, highly collectable and very expensive. A recent [April 1, 2006] auction at Doyle New York sold a collar and two bracelet suite for a cool $11,400!
Techniques/materials: Elaborate beaded designs multi-strand necklaces and bracelets. Sometimes over-the-top looks. Swarovski crystals, Murano glass, plastic beads, signature heart shaped clasp.
