Italian jeweller, FOPE, continues to captivate the world with their new, innovative pieces that combine ingenious engineering with a sophisticated and elegant look. This year, the maison takes on new levels of blending Italian sophistication and effortless wearability with new styles launched in their collections.
FOPE’s iconic Flex’it pieces have incorporated precious gemstones like rubies, sapphires and diamonds, adding a new layer of luxury to each hand-crafted item. In this article we delve into the world of FOPE and explore how a touch of sparkle complements every outfit.
Where heritage meets modernity
FOPE have been adding a touch of Italian glamour to both men and women for over 90 years from their home in Vicenza, Italy. The love for jewellery began by making gold and silver watch straps, which led to collaborations with Swiss watchmakers. Under the visionary leadership of Odino Cazzola, the family business evolved into FOPE, an acronym for Fabbrica Oreficeria Preziosi per l’Esportazione, marking its transition into fine jewellery for an international clientele.
Today, FOPE is renowned for its signature Flex’it technology, a patented innovation that weaves elegance with engineering through flexible gold mesh designs. Blending heritage craftsmanship with contemporary luxury, FOPE continues to redefine everyday elegance with unmistakable Italian sophistication.

Where 90s chic meets vintage gemstones
FOPE’s style channels the bold elegance of 1990s design, an aesthetic embraced by icons like Jennifer Lopez, who has walked red carpets adorned in the Eka and Panorama collections. Strong links complemented with strong colours and an ability for layering multiple designs makes these pieces the perfect addition to any look.

FOPE’s Solo Collection With Amanda Holden and Essie Davies
The Solo collection from FOPE launched featuring the precious weave of Novacento mesh in white gold, yellow gold and rose gold. The bracelets became extremely popular thanks to their sleek design and innovative stretch ability, ensuring premium wearability for all. The Solo collection incorporates precious gemstones like diamonds, sapphires and rubies in their necklaces and rings to add a touch of sparkle to the refined design, making it perfect for the transition of day to evening wear.
One of the most recognisable pieces of the Solo includes that of the Solo necklace, worn daily by Good Morning Britain presenter, Amanda Holden. The favourite from the star includes an elegant pavè diamond hoop that wraps around the Flex’it chain, offering a subtle elegance to her various daily outfits.
Silver-screen star Essie Davies also enjoyed the Solo collection with her Solo ring worn on the Alien Earth Premier carpet. The Solo ring is perfect for those looking to complement an evening look with a choice of sapphire, ruby or diamond stone. A unique design from FOPE enables these rings to be flexible, adding premium comfort all evening.
The Lovenest With Olivia Cooke
A bold and luxurious reinterpretation of one of FOPE’s most cherished archive collections, Love Nest exemplifies the brand’s signature Flex’it technology while celebrating the fluid, sculptural elegance of the iconic Novecento mesh. Available in all three gold hues and adorned with pavé-set diamonds, the Love Nest bracelets and earrings offer a refined expression of contemporary luxury that honours FOPE’s heritage with a distinctly modern sensibility.
Fashioned by FOPE’s global ambassador, Olivia Cooke, at Wimbledon in July, the FOPE Lovenest earrings offer a striking look to every outfit. Cooke paired the set with a Ralph Lauren tailored suit and a neat bun, keeping the look sophisticated and refined whilst delivering modern-chic.
The Panorama Collection with Chloe Kelly
In the FOPE Panorama collection, the iconic oval Novecento mesh is reimagined with a wider profile, yet so delicately slim it appears almost flat. The Flex’it Panorama bracelets and rings introduce a new dimension of comfort. It gives a silky, ribbon-like embrace that gently caresses the skin, transforming everyday wear into an extraordinary experience.
As styled by Lioness footballer, Chloe Kelly at the 2025 BAFTAs, the FOPE Panorama Pavé Diamond Flex'it ring, this exquisite piece from the Italian jeweller makes a statement, making it ideal for evening events and gala nights.

Among our favourite selections, the Flex’it 18ct Rose & White gold bracelet, reimagines a look for men. Featuring black pavé diamonds, the bracelet has evolved into a striking unisex accessory, merging contemporary style with timeless sophistication. Paired with a tailored suit, it subtly elevates evening wear with timeless luxury and understated allure.
