Fashion Jewels: Coppola e Toppo

I saw this book at a famous bookstore in central London but I didn't have the money on me at the time. But I looked for it online. It was a must have for me as I haven't been so exciting about this type of book for a long long time!!! I have decided to create my own fashion jewellery, so this book gives you alot of inspiration not just from the items but the designers life story and their journey into the fashion world! It is an excellent book for all those who are into fashion, lots & lots of colour & fine detail.

Ever wonder how far one can create with crystal beads? Well, wonder no more, because this books shows wonderful and creative designs that Coppola e Toppo did with crystal beads, the great inventive stringing styles and mix of colorsand stones. It is in a way a very 60 look, but today, we need something as creative as these or better to give a push to what beads can do for Haute Jewelry. It is a classic as a book and a must have for anyone interested in jewelry and jewelry making.

A wonderful and beautiful book. I've admired Lyda Toppo (and her brother) for sometime now. Her crystal jewelry from the 50's and 60's is gorgeous. I admire her creations from the 60's the best. One never knew it possible to reconfigure these crystals in so many designs. A good educational book.

Great book, brand new, great price & fast shipping!

The pictures shown are very similar to each other . I would have preferred a greater variety of styles which I do know that they created.
