DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT
THE PRIMA COLLECTION FOPE
F FOPE has been synonymous with
Italian goldsmithing since 1929, when the brand was founded in Vicenza, the city that remains its home and the site of its entirely in-house production. That heritage lives on in the Novecento mesh, FOPE’s signature gold weave. Individual links are assembled by hand, without soldering, into a structure soft enough to move like fabric against the skin. Within FOPE’s collections, Prima represents that mesh in its lightest, most relaxed form, spanning bracelets, necklaces, rings, and earrings. Its signature stretch bracelet is built on FOPE’s patented Flex’it system, a network of microscopic 18-karat gold springs hidden within the mesh that gives it its elasticity, offered in white, yellow, and rose gold with a diamond pavé rondel. The collection’s diamond pavé lariat necklace, available in the same three gold tones, extends that same soft mesh into a fluid, tie-front silhouette that can be worn short and structured or long and draped. Understated by design, Prima reflects FOPE’s broader philosophy: luxury meant for everyday wear, worn with authenticity and ease. Its pieces are made to be worn alone or stacked and layered with other Prima styles, encouraging a personal, evolving look that appeals equally to men and women. It’s a fitting extension of a brand
built on the idea that fine jewelry should move with its wearer, day after day, without ever losing its polish.
