Fope presents each year an updated version of blockbuster Eka collection. For 2016 the view chain necklace at Baselworld become lighter, thinner (called Eka Tiny). The necklace you can also attach two new pending: one is round and the other is drop-shaped, both have micro pavé. Another new entry is about Flex’it Solo and concerns as always the shape of little rollers: in this case the bulge is beveled according to a process defined humpbacked, arched. In practice, very oblique sides are joined at the top and give the optical illusion of amplifying the forms. So the three washers seem to six but the perception of wealth is even more visible thanks to micro pavé diamonds. I am increasingly jewels with Flex’it by Fope technology, the only entirely in gold (even the micro hidden springs, which make flexible the jewel, are made with the precious yellow metal).
News also in Vendôme line, decorated with wave motifs or “S” and, in its most precious version, completely hidden from the rings with diamonds in white gold and yellow. Prices: the bracelet of this collection costs around 18,000 Euros. High designed jewelry to be worn alone or combined with something more basic, because it is always discreet elegance and in fact the Fope bracelets are meant to be worn together, but are of different lines. In short, Eka yellow gold goes with Solo and Vendôme. Another novelty: the Phylo line, a chain with tiny elements of miniature rings. The jewels are so soft and comfortable to look like a fabric: there are different lengths and patterns. To go from idea to prototype to modeling and, finally, the production of Phylo it took about a year. All made in the factory in Vicenza Fope, which seems to be more secure than Fort Knox does not so much not only for the amount of gold, but to guard the precious secrets of patented processes.
