VIntage Coppola e Toppo Blue Beaded Earrings
These vintage Coppola e Toppo beaded earrings form an elongated loop. One half is set with faceted blue crystal beads and over-beaded with tiny matching blue beads. The other half is beaded with clear crystal beads which are over-beaded with tiny aqua beads. As with all Coppola e Toppo pieces these would have been assembled by hand.
The fully rigid design, where all the beads attach to a rigid piece of brass, was common to the Coppola e Toppo pieces of the early 1950s.
Stamped 'Made in Italy By Coppola e Toppo' and the clips feature the signature Coppola e Toppo star cut-out.
Coppola e Toppo
The brother and sister duo of Coppola e Toppo made fabulous beaded jewellery and designed pieces for some of the most well-known fashion houses including Dior and Schiaparelli. They are known for their elaborately beaded, hand-worked, designs. Immensely collectible, their vintage jewellery pieces from the 1950s and 1960s have sold for thousands at auction.
How do you rate the condition of a piece?
Excellent - No visible flaws to note but items may exhibit some signs of age related wear
Very Good - Some visible flaws which aren't considered to impair the wearability of the piece
Good - Some more notable flaws but the piece is still in collectible condition
All items are vintage and have lived a previous life, therefore signs of age related wear are to be expected. I do my best to bring attention to any faults in the description and by using the condition scale.
