Layering your jewellery pieces has become an art to fashion-lovers everywhere. From layering necklaces to stacking bracelets and earrings, adorning yourself with layers of luxury pieces speaks to a more fashionable and modern look.
A good jewellery combination can truly elevate your outfit. Balancing the world between a simple outfit and stand-out pieces will make your summer look effortless with intent, which - we know - is all the rage for the ‘clean-girl-chic’styling.
In this article, I talk you through some of the best layers that artisan, italian designer, FOPE has to offer with their brand-new understated designs that echo the looks of the classic 1990s.
Discovering FOPE
When it comes to finding the right curated layers, it all begins with your pieces. Discovering what looks good on you, what your preferred precious metals are and the initial look of your tiered pieces is all dependent on the individual pieces that you wish to use.
This is where artisan, italian jeweller, FOPE, excels. The heritage jewellers launched their expressive and flexible pieces in 1929, out of the heart of Vicenza, Italy. Pioneered by Umberto Cazzola and his son Odino, the FOPE name soon grew to be an international success, with exquisite pieces becoming staples for both men and women across the globe.
The simple and understated looks from FOPE beckon timeless elegance. Every creation is defined by the signature, patented FOPE Novecento mesh chain, Flex’it. The flexible weave of previous metals like yellow, white or rose gold is iconic to the design, and provides a comfortable wear for any occasion.

FOPE: The Leaders of the Jewellery Layering
The beauty of creating a milti-layered look from FOPE goes beyond the flexibility and comfortable wear, but also owes its popularity to the iconic design. The Novecento mesh is iconically FOPE, delicately crafted and designed to suit the wearer comfortably, and, in the context of stacking pieces, provides an excellent simple design that matches across all FOPE jewellery.
A unique highlight of FOPE’s designs includes the ability to connect pieces universally, meaning that some necklaces can be extended and metals can be mixed to create a brand-new look and design.
How to Successfully Stack Your Bracelets
The art to stacking bracelets successfully is more than just finding matching collections, it is an extension of your personality to new levels. Combining textures, patterns and sometimes even mixing metals is a great way to experiment with a new modern look.
One main thing to remember when choosing pieces to combine is reviewing the proportion. If you layer too many pieces of the same thickness or length, it may dim the effect. The best way to create an impact is to find pieces of varying sizes, or varying metals.
FOPE’s Panorama collection is a great option for those wanting to move into the world of layered luxury. The Panorama Flex’it Bracelet features elegant mixed metals and a four-layered mesh to create a thicker look. Combining this with more delicate and a thinner bracelet, like the FOPE Venodome, creates a beautifully crafted look.
How to Layer your Necklaces
Layering necklaces is a timeless way to add depth and elegance to any outfit. Begin with varying chain lengths to create natural separation, start with a choker or collar necklace, then add mid-length and longer pieces. Mix textures, weights, and pendant styles for visual interest, but keep the overall tone cohesive.
FOPE necklaces are ideal for sophisticated layering. Their flexible gold chains and subtle diamond accents offer understated luxury, perfect for combining classic style with modern flair.
For the best effect, we suggest layering the FOPE Solo diamond necklace with a classic Eka white & rose gold diamond necklace. The combination of metals and difference in chain size complements to wearer in a modern-chic look.
