Founded by Lyda Toppo, Coppola E Toppo were famous for their stunning beaded
creations. Lyda worked with her brother
Bruno Coppola to produce intricately
detailed and ornate pieces of beaded costume jewellery using a variety of beads
including Murano glass and Austrian crystal. Their jewellery often featured
multiple strands of graduated coloured beads as well as ornately designed clasps. They began production in 1946 and designed
jewellery for some of the top names of the time, including Elsa Shiaparelli,
Christian Dior and Valentino. Vintage Coppolo E Toppo jewellery has become very
collectable and prices have risen accordingly
