TOUR
An exclusive selection of vintage and contemporary bijoux
The special area dedicated to vintage and contemporary jewelry includes an important collection of one-of-a-kind vintage items that range from the 1920s to the 1980s, tracing the story of costume jewelry 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 jewelry historian Deanna Farneti Cera.
"Jewelry lifts our spirits and transforms the clothes we wear. Once dismissed as a poor imitation of fine jewelry, costume jewelry came into its own in the 20th century, with its own glamour and its own design tradition-adventurous, stylish, bigger, bolder."
