The history of FOPE is rooted in Italian goldsmith tradition, starting in 1929 when Umberto Cazzola opened an artisan workshop in Vicenza. With the same pioneering spirit, his son Odino transformed the workshop into an avant-garde factory and invented expanding watch straps, while his grandchildren Umberto and Ines created the iconic Novecento mesh and patented FOPE's Flex’it technology.
A masterpiece of jewelry making and engineering, Flex’it is a system for producing jewelry that is entirely and uniquely flexible, comfortable and easy to wear, thanks to microscopic 18-carat gold springs inserted in the construction of their flexible jewelry collections. No other company in the world can produce flexible jewelry made entirely of gold. The fourth generation of FOPE, with Giulia, achieved international success and witnessed the stock market listing of the family business. FOPE is a global brand that has succeeded in reinterpreting Italian craftsmanship through design and innovation,
