Bijoux et musique I
Jewelry and Music | A history of costume jewelry in the 20th century.
At the age of four, Samuel Kopp heard an opera by Mozart for the first time and has been devoted to classical music ever since. Almost simultaneously, he discovered that cleaned toothpaste tubes can be used to make jewelry from gold-plated zinc sheet and glass stones. His second passion was awakened. Later, while studying music, he apprenticed with goldsmiths and took jewelry classes. In 2015 he started with a first show
bijoux et musique
a combination of designer jewelry and music. Selected ladies and gentlemen demonstrate jewelry and dresses of the whole 20th century, including the master of the house’s own creations, while he plays the piano, sings and comments on the jewelry.
