FOPE, fine Italian jewelry

FOPE is an Italian fine jewelry brand founded in 1929, whose key values are high quality, elegance and comfort. Its collections spun from timeless classics to the contemporary Flex’it lines, which feature a patented system of tiny gold springs that renders the gold mesh chain smooth and easy to wear.

Every jewel is crafted under one roof in Vicenza, near Venice, and it represents an intrinsically Italian idea of style. From the new Aria lariat to the stackable Solo Flex’it bracelets, from the versatile Essentials hoops to the Flex’it rings everything comes in 18 carat yellow, white or rose gold and can be dressed up or down according to one’s taste. This is FOPE’s idea of #EverydayLuxury.

Embracing the Essence of Giving

As we welcome the final months of the year, our hearts and souls are naturally drawn to the profound principles of generosity, compassion, and unity. In this exceptional December/January edition of LUX Lifestyle, we come together to celebrate philanthropy, casting a brilliant spotlight on the remarkable acts of kindness that possess the transformative potential to touch lives, communities, and even the world.

Amidst the holiday season, as the days grow shorter and the air turns crisper, we find ourselves inspired by the boundless reservoirs of goodwill residing within each of us. Our pages are teeming with stories that stand as a testament to the indomitable human spirit and the profound impact that philanthropy can effect. Jack and Barbara Nicklaus share their Journey to a Legacy, while Consuelo Vanderbilt Costin unwaveringly shares her dedication to philanthropic endeavors.

Within these pages, we whisk you away to various corners of the globe, inviting you to revel in the holiday and New Year celebrations that unfold in grandeur. Explore STORYBOOK

CHRISTMAS FESTIVITIES and NEW YEAR’S EVE SPECTACLES, in destinations both nearby and far-flung. When we think of the holidays, few images rival the enchantment of a winter wonderland, and what better place to celebrate this magic than Aspen, as we reveal in our Escape section.

The holiday season is also a time for introspection and gratitude. We encourage you to pause and savor the blessings in your life, while also contemplating how you can extend a helping hand to those less fortunate.

As we delve into this unique issue, let us bear in mind that philanthropy knows no seasonal bounds. It is a way of life, a spirit that we can carry with us throughout the year. Let these stories of generosity, compassion, and unity kindle a fire within you, inspiring you to leave a lasting imprint on your community and the wider world.

We express our gratitude for accompanying us on this heartfelt journey. Wishing you a warm and enchanting holiday season.

With gratitude,

Colleen Guilfoile Richmond
