Coppola e Toppo 1950s Large Silver & Clear Crystal Starburst Sputnik Earrings
About the Item
A dramatic large pair of 1950s Starburst or sputnik style earrings by famous brother and sister Italian design team Coppola e Toppo. Each dome shape earrings measures about 2" in diameter and just under 1 inch deep. The back are brass and .75 of an inch in diameter with a clip back. The fronts spray outward with double strung silver coated and clear crystal cylinder or bugle beads. At the end of each spray is a crystal margarita flower bead .25 of an inch. The back of the glass clip is inscribed with Made in Italy by Coppola e Toppo with the name in script. Very very good condition.
Brother and sister jewelry designers Bruno Coppola and Lyda Toppo formed the Coppola e Toppo company in the late 1940's in Milan, Italy. Impressed with samples of its work, the Paris-based fashion houses of Dior and Balenciaga utilized Coppola e Toppo's design talents behind the scenes for a number of catwalk and retail line pieces - an important, albeit sporadic arrangement in the 1950's commission it recieved from Elsa Schiaparelli to make a line of faux coral bead jewelry, entitled "Bijoux voyages," proved both lucrative and high-profile.
Further comissions from Italian couturiers such as Pucci and Valentino enabled Coppola e Toppo to substantially increase the number of pieces released under its own trademark, "Made in Italy by Coppola e Toppo."
