For 2022, FOPE launches a brand new series of flexible necklaces and bracelets with an bold, fluid and statement finish. Named the FOPE Luna jewellery collection, the series takes inspiration from the contours of the moon with beautifully rounded links polished to a mesmerising shine.
At the beginning of FOPE’s history, the Italian jewellery manufacturer created a design known as the Novecento chain. Its exquisite manufacture was based on the principle of pure flexibility, taking inspiration from the original flexible watch straps created by the brand’s founder Umberto Cazzola. Each 18 carat gold chain slid effortlessly onto and around the body, allowing for extreme comfort and easy wear, something that was of little focus to any other fine jewellery brand. Because of this, fine jewellery lovers everywhere came to hear of the FOPE name. Fast forward several years and the modern day FOPE jewellery collections continue to commemorate the original Novecento chain with their own Flex’it technology. This is an advanced take on the historic design, bringing to life the patented ‘roll on’ mesh chain through flexible yet tiny gold springs hidden between each link.
There are a number of FOPE Flex’it jewellery designs to enjoy, whether it be from their popular Vendome, Eka, Love Nest, Panorama and Solo collections. And yet out of them all, none offers quite the statement finish as the newly released FOPE Luna jewellery line. This series reinvents the flexible Flex’it chain with bolder shapes and larger links, perfect for those looking for assertive jewellery pieces to match with their own courageous and daring personality.
One of the most important pieces in the FOPE Luna jewellery collection is their new range of Luna Flex’it Choker Necklaces. The chokers mark a first for the Italian jewellery brand, as they have yet to launch a range of necklaces designed to sit so closely to the neck. The designs are undoubtedly modern and yet despite their chocker-style fit, they still maintain the flexible gold mesh chains for a comfortable and smooth feel against the skin. The FOPE Luna Choker comes in white, yellow or rose gold and can be dressed up or down, depending on the occasion.
Also included in the FOPE Flex’it Luna jewellery line is a range of Luna bracelets. These are designed for both men and women in mind and deliver the same large linked, flexible chains but in a small circumference for wrapping around the wrist. The silhouette of the links take inspiration from the curves of the moon and each metal option, whether you choose yellow gold, white gold or rose gold, is polished to an unmissable shine to replicate the moon’s own iridescence. None of the bracelets come with a clasp, with the flexible chain extending over the hand and sinking back into place for the perfect fit around your wrist. This makes buying FOPE Luna Bracelets easy for yourself and a loved one as you’ll never have to worry about getting the right size.
The Italian jewellery maker describes the FOPE Luna jewellery collection as a series with “extreme versatility” and one that is “conceived to let you style your original combinations, it is jewellery for self-expression.” With this in mind, we urge you to explore some of the other FOPE jewellery collections that will pair beautifully with these new releases.
