Italian glamour: Dazzle in fine jewellery from FOPE this season
Elegant luxury jewellery doesn’t get more versatile than this

Sartorially speaking, fine jewellery is the best investment there is. And, while heirloom designs and stonking stones are probably best left for special occasions, when it comes to gorgeous investment pieces that can be worn everyday, those in the know are spoilt for choice. The past few years have seen a host of jewellers shift their approach to timeless jewellery that is as subtle as it is eye-catching, and while many brands offer accessible luxury, if you’re after jewellery made with the finest materials and most innovative designs, look no further than FOPE.
Nearly a century old, FOPE may have started as a small goldsmithing workshop in Vicenza, but the brand’s bold designs, minimalist silhouettes and distinctly Italian sophistication have seen it flourish into a global jewellery player. FOPE now boasts showrooms in Venice, Dubai, Kuala Lumpur, and Tokyo, as well as a flagship on London’s Bond Street.
Equal parts stylish and versatile, FOPE jewellery is made from top quality materials and imbued with cutting-edge innovations. Fans of the brand will be familiar with its signature Novecento gold chain and unique Flex’It system. The foundation of FOPE’s collections, this remarkable innovation was introduced in 2007 and sees tiny gold springs hidden between each link of a mesh chain to make it both flexible and stretchable. Comfortable and luxurious, this technology also makes gifting easy since hunting for the right size is no longer a concern.
New for AW24 is the latest addition to the Solo Bubble collection – a range of colourful bracelets crafted from 18 carat gold. A playful take on FOPE’s understated design language, these bracelets feature a sparkling rondel set with an array of emeralds, blue and pink sapphires and diamonds, set on a white, yellow or rose gold mesh bracelet. Wear the show-stopping pieces alone or add to a larger Flex’It bracelet stack – either way the compliments are guaranteed.
Also new this season is the Luna collection with diamonds. While the chunky but lightweight Luna collection, with its heavy mesh gold chain design, offered a contemporary selection of chokers and bracelets, this new diamond-set option goes a step further. Each piece features a central diamond pavé rondel on an 18 carat gold chain. Bold and modern with just the right amount of sparkle, this collection is the easiest statement look you’ll wear all season.
On the hunt for something a little more eclectic to add to your everyday stack? Look, then, to the newest addition to the brand’s best-selling Eka collection: Stardust. The slim silhouettes of Eka’s bracelets and necklaces now feature a single or multiple contrasting gold rondels with a row of rhombus-set white diamonds. Available in white gold with a yellow gold rondel, or yellow or rose gold with a white gold rondel, these gorgeous pieces are primed for layering and can be worn in a variety of ways.
From hero pieces to stackable creations, FOPE’s jewellery instantly adds polished Italian flair to any outfit – and looks as good with a pair of jeans as it does with a cocktail dress. Invest in your favourites from the collection and trust us, you’ll be reaching for these sparkling treasures everyday for years to come.
