Have you ever considered wearing your trials and triumphs on yourself as jewelry?

FOPE, a flexible jewelry brand, combines tradition, new ideas, and skilled craftsmanship to create something special. They focus on modern luxury through contemporary jewelry, highlighted by their flex’it jewelry and the brand’s adaptable style.

Their practical approach means you can express yourself while their products are still comfortable for everyday wear. FOPE pieces, including gold bracelets, rings, necklaces, and earrings, frequently tell a story about accomplishment, love, personal growth, or starting fresh, and their “All in Me” campaign showcases the connection between you and your jewelry.

The FOPE Story

FOPE’s history began in 1929 in Vicenza, Italy, known for its goldsmithing. Founded as a small workshop by Umberto Cazzola, FOPE endured global challenges, including World War II. Umberto’s son, Odino Cazzola, turned the workshop into a modern factory, initially focusing on expanding watch straps.

When the company began producing 18-karat gold jewelry, Umberto and Ines Cazzola developed the distinctive Novecento mesh and patented the flex’it technology, incorporating flexibility into their brand. Their made-in-Italy jewelry, dedicated to craftsmanship and technology, has become its primary focus.

Why FOPE Stands Out

FOPE has given Italian craftsmanship a fresh twist through design, technology, and new ideas. Two major innovations define the company: the patented flex’it jewelry tech, which makes jewelry flexible using tiny 18-karat gold springs, and the recognizable Novecento mesh, a soft weave made by linking components without soldering them, thus creating “flexible luxury.”

After the flex’it system was developed, the company’s jewelry became stretchy. By 2016, FOPE S.p.A. was listed on the Italian stock exchange in the Euronext Growth market.

History and Philosophy

The “All in Me” campaign encapsulates FOPE’s way of thinking, showing how jewelry can represent the many facets of a person throughout their day. The campaign’s main character, played by British actress Olivia Cooke, embodies this varied personality. Known for her wide range of roles, Cooke represents the adaptable, energetic, classic, and flexible nature that FOPE puts into its jewelry.

FOPE serves customers worldwide through a network of multi-brand jewelers and flagship stores in the US, UK, Germany, Japan, and the Middle East. FOPE plans to continue offering gold, diamond, and precious stone jewelry collections with its reputation for being elegant, modern design, and new technologies.

It also aims to expand its global reach. The brand promotes a concept of luxury that fits into busy, active lifestyles, and they are proud to create gender-neutral jewelry designed for everyday wear on different occasions.

Innovation and Flexible Luxury

FOPE’s main idea revolves around “Flexible Luxury,” where flexibility is both a technical feature and a brand characteristic, letting people express themselves and still enjoy a comfortable fit. At the same time, “Vincenza, 1929” points to the brand’s historical roots and location, a foundation that continues to guide its approach while drawing on Vincenza’s goldsmithing tradition.

Ultimately, “Innovative design” is at the heart of FOPE’s look and style, covering the final product and the entire manufacturing process. FOPE wishes to show that new ideas and human skill can turn traditional craftsmanship into advanced production technology.
