DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT
BY CAROL BESLER
FOPE
IT’S ALL ABOUT EVERYDAY LUXURY
W hen you look at a piece of jewelry made by FOPE, it’s the volume and depth that catch your eye. The woven layers of lush, sculptured gold links create an intricate three-dimensional composition that fits your body like fabric. The bracelets and necklaces move when you move, and in some cases, they actually stretch, despite being made of hardy 18k gold. FOPE’s proprietary Flex-it method of construction consists of gold mesh chain with dozens of gold springs hidden between each link. The Luna collection of mesh gold chain includes new choker-style necklaces that simulate the look of a rigid choker but with the comfort of flexible mesh. They are made to last, not just in terms of strength but in terms of style: FOPE jewelry is classic with a literal twist — the very definition of understated luxury.
Solo Necklace 18K Yellow Gold and diamonds $7,070.
Luna Flex’It Bracelet 18K Yellow Gold $10,500.
The bracelets, necklaces, and rings at the core FOPE collections are designed to be mixed and matched together in stacks and strands. Some are set with diamond accents, and all are made of 18k white, yellow, or rose gold. New in the Aria collection is a shorter length (37 mm) necklace, along with a new Y-shaped lariat style necklace. Matching earrings are composed of delicate chains that hang from behind the ear and have been designed to be multi-functional — they can be can be worn long or short, looped from the back to the front of the earring, or removed to create a simple stud design. Pieces within the Must Haves collection have been designed to be mixed and matched in the three gold colorways, featuring a rondel set with white or black diamonds for women and men. Now there is even a separate men’s collection set with black diamonds and accents of black rhodium. More reason than ever to have fun with FOPE!
