Since 1929, FOPE has been combining heritage, future craftsmanship, innovation, luxury and discretion. With its roots in Italian goldsmith tradition, the contemporary designs are based on Novecento mesh, the Flex’it technology and the mix of gold colours.

A masterpiece of jewellery making and engineering at the same time, Flex’it is a patented system for producing jewellery that is entirely and uniquely flexible, comfortable and easy to wear, in 18-carat gold. Flex’it is the brand’s signature: if FOPE jewellery 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.

In Sanskrit, Eka means one, and has been so named as the first collection that launched Flex’it technology: a new way of wearing gold jewellery. Genderless and ageless, FOPE's Eka collection is an element to be experienced casually in your everyday life, for a style that transcends fashion, space and time.

The Eka Flex'it bracelets epitomise the understated elegance of FOPE and pair perfectly with Solo Flex'it bracelets, like the Fope Solo Flex'It 18ct Yellow Gold Bracelet with Yellow and White Gold Diamond and Plain Rondels, £4,650, pictured below.
