TOUR
An exclusive selection of vintage and contemporary bijoux
The special area dedicated to vintage and contemporary jewellery includes an important collection of one-of-a-kind vintage items that range from the 1920s to the 1980s, tracing the story of costume jewellery through the exemplary pieces by renowned designers like Coppola e Toppo, Trifari, Monet, Miriam Haskell, Chanel, Kenneth Jay Lane, and Correani. Many bijoux come from precious private collections like that of the jewellery historian Deanna Farneti Cera.
"Jewellery lifts our spirits and transforms the clothes we wear. Once dismissed as a poor imitation of fine jewellery, costume jewellery came into its own in the 20th century, with its own glamour and its own design tradition-adventurous, stylish, bigger, bolder."
