Jewellery & Watch News
The final day of our C W Sellors Countdown to Christmas Gift Ideas for 2022 showcase features a statement piece from Fope – a Vicenza-based jewellery manufacturer that prides itself on ever-evolving traditions and a keen eye for elegance and quality. The Fope Eka diamond bracelet is crafted from 18ct yellow gold and 18ct white gold and will appeal to Fope enthusiasts as well as collectors of the company’s iconic Flex’It jewellery line.
About Fope
Fope’s story began back in 1929 when a workshop was opened by Umberto Cazzola. When his pioneering skills in goldsmithing were passed on to his son, Odino, the company began specialising in watch straps crafted from gold and other precious metals. By the time the company had reached its third generation, Fope began branching out into creating jewellery collections with a twist and had already built up a vast clientele by supplying luxury watch straps to leading names in Switzerland. Fope’s Novecento mesh design became a signature style of the brand and became an instant success in Italy before becoming globally renowned. By its fourth generation, Fope had earned itself a place in the International jewellery market.
To this day, Fope is a symbol of enduring style and Italian elegance. Its flare for innovation is loved by males and females alike. Fope carries out the production and administration of its creations not far from where it first started out in Vicenza. Still a family-run business, passion and creativity still form the basis of each traditionally crafted piece of Fope jewellery.
The Fope Eka jewellery collection
The fundamentals of the Fope Eka jewellery design are largely based on the iconic Flex’It jewellery line by Fope. The Flex’It technology is a patented system that has evolved as the brand has grown over the years. With a distinct original style, the Fope Flex’It jewellery collection was first launched in 2007 and became a go-to choice as a gift idea or milestone marker for loved ones. Its practical and comfortable design made it a hit with ladies living busy on-the-go lifestyles, lending to its convenience with its roll-on roll-off design.
Flex’It jewellery designs by Fope are fine examples of expert engineering and goldsmithing. The mesh chain that defines these special pieces of jewellery is fully stretchable and flexible thanks to dozens of tiny golden springs hidden underneath the links of the bracelets and chains. Flex’It and Eka jewellery designs make for such wonderful Christmas gift ideas since they are smooth to the touch, comfortable and convenient.
The Fope Eka jewellery designs
Eka jewellery designs are conceived to be gender-neutral pieces resulting in an incredibly simple design and style. This is the key to the versatility of these special flexible jewellery designs. The must-have creations can also be characterised by diamond detail and a more recent variant enriched by black diamonds set in the “O” shape deriving from the “Fope” name. Whilst the Flex’It design has been applied to rings and earrings, nothing communicates elegance and class quite like a Fope bracelet, such as the Fope 18ct yellow gold Eka bracelet we’re featuring in this Christmas gift guide article.
The Fope 18ct Yellow Gold Eka bracelet
Expertly woven and playfully mixing two different precious metals within its unique design, this elegant and alluring Fope Flex’It Eka bracelet is a striking statement piece that will appeal to white gold and yellow gold jewellery wearers alike. Belonging to the Flex’It line, the bracelet is based on the company’s 1950s invention but nods to an altogether more luxurious and contemporary styling. The flexible chain on this Eka bracelet is designed in the same way as the Flex’It creations, with tiny golden springs that are disguised underneath the links of the chain. These springs open to accommodate the width of the wrist, making for an incredibly convenient way to roll a piece of jewellery on and off the wrist before heading out of the door each morning, Despite this modern approach to jewellery wearing, the Fope Eka designs have not compromised on their elegance or their refined and luxurious feel against the skin.
The mesh-style chain of this Fope Eka bracelet features 18ct white gold rondels that combine smooth polished finishes and diamond set finishes, creating an added layer of depth and detail. The central rondel is adorned with glistening round brilliant-cut diamonds whilst the other rondels that flank the central band are unadorned and smooth for a luxurious finish. Being a flexible bracelet, the design features no clasp and has been meticulously engraved with the Fope lettering as a symbol of authentic craftsmanship and quality. Perfect for stacking and layering with other yellow gold or white gold Fope bracelets, this beautiful design amounts to a total diamond weight of 0.15ct and comes displayed inside an official Fope presentation box for completing the ultimate gifting experience for a loved one this Christmas 2022.
