Our Exclusive FOPE Event
On the 22nd and 23rd of October 2026, we were delighted to welcome our clients to an exclusive FOPE Exhibition at our Plymouth Showroom, celebrating the exceptional craftsmanship of the renowned Italian jewellery house.
The exhibition offered guests the opportunity to discover an exquisite selection of the latest pieces from FOPE’s iconic collections, including Love Nest, Eka, Luna, Panorama and beyond. An elegant showcase of contemporary luxury, each creation reflects the artistry and innovation that define the FOPE name.
The World of FOPE Jewellery
Founded in 1929 in Vicenza, Italy, by Umberto Cazzalo, FOPE is a house where Italian goldsmithing meets pioneering innovation. Renowned for its distinctive Novecento mesh and patented Flex’it technology, FOPE has redefined the art of fine jewellery through its signature approach to flexible jewellery.
Crafted from interwoven 18ct gold links and incorporating microscopic gold springs, each piece moves effortlessly with the wearer, offering an exceptional balance of comfort and sophistication. The result is jewellery that feels as extraordinary as it looks.
Today, every FOPE creation is brought to life in the house’s own factory in Vicenza, where generations of goldsmithing expertise are united with precision engineering and modern technology. Each piece reflects an unwavering commitment to excellence, and at Michael Speirs, we are proud to be an official UK retailer of FOPE. We are continually inspired by the artistry and ingenuity of each jewellery piece.
Will Coupland, UK FOPE Director
At our exhibition, we welcomed Will Coupland, who hosted our guests and guided them through the collections.
For 26 years, Will has served as the acting UK FOPE Director, sharing the artistry and innovation of the Italian fine jewellery house with clients across the country. Throughout his time with the brand, Will has championed FOPE’s distinctive approach to jewellery, bringing to light the incredible innovations that the brand has brought forward.
For Will, FOPE is far more than a creator of elegant jewellery. It is a celebration of creativity, precision, and ingenuity, with every piece embodying the skill and dedication of the goldsmiths behind it. The brand’s signature designs bring together effortless sophistication with incredible technology.
"Being a part of the world of FOPE is a true honour. Having the opportunity to showcase the exceptional pieces our goldsmiths create and witness the reactions of clients as they experience the brand for the first time is a real joy. There is something truly special about seeing someone discover the effortless nature of wearing our pieces. It is often in that first moment, when they see each piece up close, try it on, and feel how beautifully it moves, that they ultimately understand what sets our pieces apart."

At the exhibition, Will Coupland introduced clients to an exceptional selection of exclusive pieces, from decadent rings to iconic FOPE bracelets adorned with diamonds. Each creation offered a captivating expression of artistry, inspiring clients with its radiant beauty.
Guiding clients through the collections, Will shared the stories and heritage behind each piece, offering insights into the craftsmanship that makes up each creation. From the bold design of Love Nest pieces to the delicate nature of Eka, no FOPE is truly the same.
