Sophia Pendant
Due to grace, charisma and her unmistakable style, we based one of our pendants from the Atelier collection on Sophia Loren. Sophia shone on the silver screen for many years, besides impressing through the silver screen she also did so in the field of fashion and jewellery. The elegance and allure still radiates from Sophia and that is why our pendant, in the shape of a heart, is inspired by this woman.
The history of Sophia Loren
Sofia Villani Scicolone, aka Sophia Loren, was born on September 20, 1934 in Rome. Sophia spent her early childhood in difficult circumstances, as her parents were unmarried and she grew up in poverty during a turbulent period of World War II. Despite these challenging circumstances, Sophia already showed great talent for acting. At a young age, she quickly became well-known when she emerged in the Italian film industry in the 1950s. She had extraordinary talent and beauty, this made her a very striking person and she quickly caught the attention of the right people. The breakthrough came when she had a role in the film "La Traviata" (1953). But she only gained international fame when she had a role in the film 'Two Women' (1960), with this she won her first Oscar for a non-English speaking role.
Sophia Loren was not only admired for her acting talents during her career, but her undeniable beauty and style was very popular with many people around the world. Sophia's unique ability to show both strength and vulnerability in her performances made her loved by audiences and admired by critics around the world. She was an elegant appearance and had a confident attitude, which made her an iconic figure in the 50s and 60s, many people were therefore able to draw inspiration from her as a person.
A life full of love
In addition to Sophia's professional achievements, Sophia Loren also had a life full of love and romance; for example, she had a passionate affair with film producer Carlo Ponti. They married in 1957 and their marriage was the center of much media attention and gossip. But despite the gossip, their love endured, and so they became one of Hollywood's most beloved couples of the time.
Sophia Loren and Carlo Ponti's marriage lasted for more than 50 years and was characterized by mutual support, devotion and affection. Although Sophia was 22 years younger than Ponti and their marriage was initially deemed invalid due to Ponti's pending divorce proceedings, their love was real for each other. Thus, they stayed together until Ponti's death in 2007. Their love story has been an inspiration to many and has stood the test of time as one of the film industry's most romantic stories.
