Glittering Gifts with FOPE

Make Christmas dreams come true this December with FOPE’s range of beautiful contemporary jewellery.

Glittering Gifts with FOPE

Born in Vicenza in 1929, FOPE’s story began when Umberto Cazzola opened his first goldsmith’s workshop in the Italian city. He then passed on his savoir faire to his son Odino, who in turn pioneered the flexible gold jewellery that the brand has become renowned for.

In the 1980s the third generation of the family, Umberto and his sister Ines, transformed the family business by investing extensively in research and new technologies, experimenting with new techniques to create the exquisite jewellery FOPE is known for today. Over the years, the jewellery house has become a by-word for Italian luxury, design and innovation.

Some twenty years ago, FOPE introduced a ground-breaking invention, Flex’it (for which it has the worldwide patent), which consists of tiny gold springs placed within an 18ct gold mesh. This ingenious invention makes the gold chain flexible yet strong, elegant and super comfortable to wear, without the need for clasps on the bracelets. This concept of elegantly designed, tactile jewellery that hugs the wearer and is comfortable to wear all day has given rise to FOPE’s hashtag, #EverydayLuxury.

With unisex designs for all tastes and styles, from modern minimalism to statement luxury, FOPE has the perfect Christmas gifts this festive season. And whether you’re shopping for a surprise present or browsing for yourself, pop into the brand’s flagship London store at 1A Old Bond Street to see the whole collection.

New for 2022 is the exquisite Aria collection of necklaces and earrings, made from an innovative new delicate gold mesh chain. Slim, smooth and effortless to wear, the unisex chains are designed to mix and match across the three gold colourways, and are finished with simple gold cylinders set with white or black diamonds. The style is available in two lengths and as a lariat design, plus as earrings. From £1,680, mappinandwebb.com
