As a designer and artist I am always scouting for inspiration, whether it is in from a photograph, the beautiful natural materials used in my jewelry, or a prized piece from the past. This past weekend as I scouted around a California Market I came across a fantastic piece of Vintage Couture jewelry that I just could not resist acquiring for my private collection. The piece is a bold, yet elegant rare piece of Coppola e Toppo faux Pearl necklace made circa 1950. This piece of Vintage Italian-made Designer Jewelry is quite spectacular and is just the sort of accessory that I consider to be a timeless classic. It is composed of six strands of graduated gleaming faux pearls in a wonderful swagging design with intricate baroque pearl fittings, all hand wired. Pieces such as these are just not found every day and come at quite a premium due to their scarcity.
I am not afraid to say that early pieces of mid-century Vintage Couture offer much inspiration to my own line. The gorgeous clean lines, quality materials, and exquisite workmanship are all qualities that I incorporate into my own collection. I am creating modern pieces using genuine materials incorporating the same hand workmanship as found in this piece made about 60 years ago by the famous Coppola e Toppo design house.
I can't help to think about who mught have worn this piece, what events might it have been to and how it ended up in my hands. These pieces exude a sense of sophistication and style that one cannot help gravitating toward. My hope is that in 50 years when one finds one of my Original Designer pieces, they too will wonder about the history behind the necklace....-Jw-
