This book is a recognition of the talent of Lyda Coppola, designer and owner of Coppola e Toppo, a costume Jewellery company which was active in Milan from 1948-1986

A true work of passion, this book lovingly charts the creative path of Italian jewelry designers Lyda Toppo and Bruno Coppola, famed for their intricate over the top designs of clustered beads. Sumptuous illustrations complement a well-researched and accessible text. The duo designed for Valentino, Dior, Balenciaga and Pucci and many more, and worn by countless Hollywood stars and on catwalks the world over. Deanna Farneti Cera first glimpsed the jewels of Coppola e Toppo in 1987 at an auction house in Milan. Instantly fascinated by their diversity, the evocative power of the colors, the wealth of shapes and motifs and the multitude of materials used, she soon developed an overwhelming passion for the stunning creations. This book, researched over the last twenty years, is the culmination of that passion and a reconstruction of the creative path of Coppola e Toppo, charting their inspiring partnership from their first appearance in VOGUE in 1948, through to Lyda's death in 1986. This book lovingly charts the creative path of Italian designers Lyda Toppo and Bruno Coppola, famed for their intricate and over-the-top creations designed for Valentino, Dior, Balenciaga, Pucci, and others, and worn by countless Hollywood stars and on catwalks worldwide. 

Questo volume è un omaggio al talento di Lyda Coppola in Toppo (Venezia, 1915 – Milano, 1986), la disegnatrice e fondatrice, insieme al fratello, della Coppola e Toppo, un’azienda di gioielli per la moda attiva a Milano dal 1948 al 1986. Sono proprio i complementi creati da Lyda – innanzitutto bijoux, ma anche borse, sciarpe, cinture, foulard – a dare il tocco finale a molte delle mises proposte dagli stilisti che hanno segnato la Haute Couture francese della fine degli anni Quaranta e dagli stilisti della moda boutique italiana degli anni Cinquanta, Sessanta e Settanta. All’inizio della carriera, Lyda Coppola, forse a causa delle sue origini – madre triestina, di origine ebraica, padre napoletano – caratterizza la sua produzione combinando, in modo inusuale, materiali tipicamente italiani provenienti da parti diverse della penisola, come le perle in vetro veneziano e il corallo di Torre del Greco. Subito dopo la fine della Seconda guerra mondiale, a partire dal 1948, i bijoux di Coppola e Toppo diventano famosi prima a Parigi (Elsa Schiaparelli, Jacques Fath, Edward Molyneaux, Robert Piquet, Pierre Balmain, Jeanne Lanvin, Nina Ricci, Cristobal Balenciaga, Jacques Heim sono i loro primi clienti) e poi negli Stati Uniti, dove – a cominciare dai primi anni Cinquanta e per almeno quindici anni – si riversa la maggior parte della loro produzione. La stampa, da «Vogue» Francia a «Vogue» America, e con i redazionali su «Harper’s Bazaar», «Women’sWear Daily», «The New York Times», «Herald Tribune» accompagna la presentazione nelle città americane più importanti delle due collezioni annuali di Coppola e Toppo, accrescendone il successo commerciale. Dai primi anni Cinquanta, Lyda Coppola crea i gioielli per Emilio Pucci e per la gran parte degli stilisti della moda italiana: Roberto Capucci, Germana Marucelli, Carosa, Biki, Sorelle Fontana, Pino Lancetti, Patrick de Barentzen, Federico Forquet, Enzo, Ken Scott, Valentino, Krizia. Il connubio dei bijoux Coppola e degli abiti firmati viene ripreso da straordinari servizi fotografici di Gian Paolo Barbieri (autore di oltre 40 scatti, qui riprodotti), Henry Clark, Franco Rubartelli, pubblicati sulle riviste di moda internazionali. La storia di Coppola e Toppo si dipana in contemporanea alla crescita e affermazione della moda italiana, passata da una condizione di artigianato nei primi anni Cinquanta a un’industria fiorente e conosciuta in tutto il mondo negli anni Ottanta come Made in Italy. Oggi i bijoux e i complementi di Coppola e Toppo rientrano nei collectibles più ambiti dai collezionisti di gioielli d’epoca.

How do you Restore Tarnished Gold Costume Jewellery?

How does Costume Jewellery Tarnish?

The primary reason for tarnished costume jewellery is the chemical reaction caused by continued exposure to the environment's elements. When the surface of costume jewellery comes into contact with makeup, sweat, and body oils, it causes a chemical reaction that results in oxidation.

Gold Costume Jewellery

Gold is a precious and expensive metal that is highly versatile and delicate. People love gold jewellery because it is elegant and, most importantly, hypoallergenic. It plays a significant role in our rituals, heritage, and traditions. Gold is almost always used to craft any kind of jewellery, including jhumkas, necklaces, chains, bangles, bracelets, and many more. Costume jewellery is designed to complement a particular costume as opposed to real jewellery. When you step out of the house, your jewellery comes into contact with different kinds of substances that might tarnish them. Gold jewellery of low quality has the chance of getting tarnished due to the presence of alloys.

How to Clean Tarnished Costume Jewelry?

It can be heart quenching to see our expensive costume jewellery losing its original colors. Costume jewellery can get tarnished, destroying its worth and appearance easily. Fortunately, there are many options for cleaning tarnished jewellery pieces. To begin, you can take your tarnished jewellery to a trusted jewellery store to be repaired, or you can repair it yourself using a homemade formula.

Home Remedies for Cleaning Costume Jewellery

Toothpaste & Toothbrush

Apply a small amount of regular toothpaste to your tarnished costume jewellery with a brush and leave it for a few seconds. After some time, clean the ornament gently by using an old toothbrush. In the very next step, wash the jewellery pieces with normal water and dry them with a piece of cloth.

Lemon Juice

Lemon juice is rich in citric acid, which easily clears the discoloration on costume jewellery. Dilute a few tablespoons of lemon juice with a cup of water. Soak your tarnished jewellery in the prepared mixture for 20 to 30 minutes. The citric acid in lemon juice will clean the tarnished part of your jewellery without damaging the ornament glaze. After 20 minutes, separate the jewellery from the mixture and rinse it with water. Then dry them with a clean piece of cloth.

Baking Soda & Salt

Mix the baking soda and salt in a bowl of warm water. Then put all your tarnished ornaments in that solution. The composition of Sodium Bicarbonate aids in the reduction of tarnish on jewelry. Once you are satisfied with the result, take out the jewellery from that mixture, rinse it with cold water, and let it dry.

White Vinegar and Water

Take an equal amount of white vinegar and water in a container, then soak your jewellery for a few minutes. Then, gently clean the jewellery with a brush. White vinegar contains acetic acid, which helps reduce the tarnish on jewellery. Then clean the jewellery with cold water and dry it with a dry cotton cloth.

How to Store Costume Jewellery

Costume jewellery is attractive and affordable, so people buy it based on their fashion agendas. Costume jewellery needs more attention than other jewellery. It gets tarnished easily, so below we mention some points that are helpful for you to maintain the longevity of costume jewellery and avoid tarnishing.

Keep metal jewellery separate from other jewellery.

Always keep separate containers for your costume jewellery based on its category. This prevents metal pieces from getting tarnished.

Your Jewelry Should Be Cleaned and Dried

Moisture and dirt are the main reasons why metal gets tarnished and discoloured faster. So, before you store your costume jewellery make sure it is properly cleaned and dried.

Use protective spray.(Clear Coat Spray, Eternal Jewellery Coating, and Avance Brass and Copper Tarnish Remover etc.)

Before storing your costume jewellery you should treat it with a protective spray, which reduces the chances of it getting tarnished and also protects you from allergic reactions, skin irritation, rashes, and itchiness.

What Not to Do with Your Costume Jewellery

Don’t Expose Costume jewellery Pieces to Direct Sunlight:

Never place your costume jewellery in direct sunlight because harsh sunlight causes jewellery pieces to tarnish.

Don’t Wear Your Jewelry to the Gym, Shower, or Swimming Pool:

keep your jewellery away from brackish water, chlorine water, and sweat. These substances cause discoloration and tarnish on your jewellery.

Never Store Dirty or Wet Jewelry:

Before storing your jewelry, make sure it is clean. Always remove dirt and wetness from your costume jewellery with a clean cloth.

In Summary

Therefore, costume jewellery has become a craze among men and women. They not only complement every other occasion but also make a strong fashion statement for the individual wearing them. Because of its frequent uses, costume jewellery is subjected to normal wear and tear; for this reason, it requires tender touch, care, and maintenance from time to time. Hence, it's ideal for you to apply all those remedies that help you protect your costume jewellery from tarnishing by using home remedies.

Must have costume jewellery for every occasion

For centuries, jewellery has been an essential element for women to enhance their demure looks and to make a statement.

Even though trends keep changing, there are some timeless pieces that never go out of style.

Here are some of the tips:

Hoop Earrings: A pair of versatile hoops in your armory ensures that even on a casual jeans-and-T-shirt kind-of-a-day, you can take your outfit a notch up with your jewellery.

Layering Necklaces: It’s almost impossible to go wrong with styling layered necklaces on any look, be it Indian or western. For instance, a long beaded chain in layers, stacked around the neck can make a bold statement while layering dainty chains with pendants on plain t-shirts can give a more subtle and relaxed vibe to the outfit. To maximize the attention to your accessory, opt for bigger pendants. Also, if you prefer to add an oomph factor to your ensemble, choose a statement necklace.

Statement Choker: If you’re a minimalist at heart, this is the only accessory you’ll ever need! Forgo the other jewellery to avoid any distraction. Also, try and wear an open neckline while pairing up your choker; it could be a V-neck or an off-shoulder silhouette. This helps to draw major focus on the jewellery.

Cocktail Rings: Both bold and beautiful, a cocktail ring comes in all manner of shapes, sizes, colour of stones and designs, but it is always a conversation starter. It can be effectively used to communicate by the mere use of your hands.

Earrings that frame your Face: Whether you prefer studs or danglers everyday, earrings have a big impact on your outfit as they are in the line-of-vision of your direct company. They maybe relatively small, but they should compliment your face structure as they can make or break an outfit. For example, an oval face can pull off a round stud, but a round face should try and avoid this style and go for a longer, drop earring which would help sculpt the face efficiently.
