FOPE

"The history of FOPE is rooted in the Italian goldsmith tradition. It was 1929 when Umberto Cazzola opened an artisan workshop in Vicenza, a city with a rich heritage of knowledge related to the jewellery world. With the same pioneering spirit, his son Odino transformed the workshop into an avant-garde factory and invented the expanding watch straps, while his grandchildren Umberto and Ines created the iconic Novecento mesh and patented the Flex’it technology. The fourth generation, with Giulia, achieved international success and witnessed the stock market listing of the family business, a brand that has succeeded in reinterpreting Italian craftsmanship through design and innovation, bringing its gold, diamond and gemstone jewelry all over the world."

"A masterpiece of jewelry making and engineering at the same time, Flex’it is a patented system for producing jewelry that is entirely and uniquely flexible, comfortable and easy to wear, in 18-carat gold. Flex’it is the brand’s signature: if FOPE jewelry is known the world over, it is because of the mesh that is made flexible by a patented system of tiny 18-carat gold springs, which create original styles and fits."
