Malo debuts gold-plated jewelry capsule inspired by knitwear gestures

Malo has translated the softness and structure of cashmere into jewelry, debuting an 11-piece capsule in 24-karat gold-plated brass with prices starting at 390 euros and topping out at 950 euros. For gift shoppers, the appeal is immediate: it sits in that sweet spot between attainable and special, with hand-finished craftsmanship from Arezzo, Italy, giving the pieces a more personal feel than off-the-shelf fine jewelry.

The collection leans into Malo’s knitwear vocabulary rather than trying to look like generic gold jewelry. Decorative forms echo “interlacing, knotting, ribbing and tension,” while a gold-and-black palette, a T-bar closure engraved with the logo and a cabochon blue stone recur across the line. Among the named pieces are the Nodo Fiorentino ring, priced at 390 euros, the Arezzo chain and bracelet, and the Notte Toscana necklace, which reaches 950 euros. That mix matters for gifting: the lower entry price gives the capsule an easy on-ramp, while the sculpted details keep it from reading as merely introductory.

The launch also fits Malo’s wider reset. Founded in Florence in 1972, the cashmere house was acquired by Glickman Capital in 2025, and Michelle Kessler-Sanders was named chief executive as part of the deal. She has framed the jewelry as a natural extension of the house’s knitwear language and the company’s broader effort to refresh the brand while reintroducing it to markets where it already had recognition. Malo remains based in Florence and has also opened an office and showroom in Milan, reinforcing that this is not a side project but part of a larger relaunch.

That broader push already reached the United States through an exclusive partnership with Saks Global, which brought a 10-piece womenswear capsule to four Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus locations, along with their e-commerce sites. Seen in that context, the jewelry debut reads less like a standalone accessory drop than a deliberate move into entry-luxury gifting. It gives Malo a new category with clearer gift appeal, while preserving the house codes that make the pieces feel more distinctive than mainstream jewelry and still unmistakably premium.
