About FOPE
IJL is an Authorized FOPE Dealer
Founded in 1929 in the historic jewellery-making centre of Vicenza, Italy, FOPE has spent nearly a century blending traditional goldsmithing with cutting-edge technology. Originally established by Umberto Cazzola as a specialized workshop for metal watch straps, the brand evolved through four generations of the Cazzola family to become a global icon of Italian elegance. FOPE is perhaps best known for its revolutionary, patented Flex’it system—an ingenious design featuring microscopic 18-carat gold springs hidden within the mesh of their bracelets and rings. This innovation allows the jewellery to be fully flexible and expandable, removing the need for clasps and offering a comfortable "second-skin" fit. At the heart of the brand is the iconic Novecento mesh, a signature weave that transforms solid gold into a supple, fabric-like texture. Today, every piece is still proudly designed and manufactured in-house in Vicenza, reflecting a commitment to sustainable practices and impeccable quality. At IJL, we are proud to offer FOPE’s versatile collections, designed for those who appreciate sophisticated luxury that can be worn effortlessly from day to night.
