Coppola e Toppo Blue Crystal Drapery Necklace, 1950s
About the Item
A fabulous multistrand necklace designed by Coppola e Toppo in the 1950s that is fresh and joyful. The piece is made up of eight strands of beads that are connected at the ends by a decorated clasp. The bronze heart-shaped terminals are pave-embroidered, characteristic of Coppola e Toppo's signature style.
As with all of their necklaces, the row of beads appears to have been made from a single thread, stretched taut to create the subtle and elegant twist, belying its genuine intricacy of construction and creating this unusual, flowing design.
The clear sky blue multifaceted crystal beads absorb and reflect the light beautifully. These colors are associated with an unusual opaque turquoise-blue with black swirling beads that create a delightful composition. The blue color seems to be one of the favorites of this designer.
The signature is on the underside of one clasp marked: Made in Italy by, with Coppola e Toppo, partially erased.
The necklace is in excellent condition for its age, with no pronounced signs of wear.
Measurements: the necklace's total length is 18.94 in long (48 cm) - largest width is 2.75 in wide (7 cm)
Note: The Coppola e Toppo brand was founded in the late 1940s by Milanese siblings Bruno Coppola and Lydia Toppo. The brand took off in the 1960s when Christian Dior commissioned runway pieces from them. From the 1950s to the 1970s, Coppola e Toppo enjoyed great success through its brand collections in Europe and The United States. They collaborated with many fashion houses and designers like Balenciaga, Valentino, Pucci, Schiaparelli, Saint Laurent, and Di Camerino. Their work is elegant, elaborate, and bold, combining glass and crystal beads with Swarovski crystals and Lucite.
