Malo debuts 11-piece gold-plated jewelry capsule inspired by knitwear
Malo’s first jewelry capsule turns rib-knit textures and tricot links into 11 gold-plated brass pieces hand-finished in Arezzo.
Malo has translated its knitwear vocabulary into jewelry with a first capsule of 11 pieces in 24-karat gold-plated brass, a debut that feels most persuasive when it stays close to the body. Hand-finished in Arezzo, Italy, the collection moves across necklaces, chains, rings and earrings, borrowing the language of ribbing, woven yarn and knotwork and turning it into polished, wearable surfaces.
The strongest pieces are the ones that read like softened tailoring for the neck and wrist. The Arezzo Chain takes a double-chain approach, pairing a larger ribbed link with a finer chain intertwined to mimic woven knitwear, while Nodo Fiorentino turns the brand’s knitting reference into a rigid choker with a central knot detail. Aurea di Siena uses a domed-effect pendant and a tricot-inspired chain motif, and other designs add black lacquer accents and internal MALO engraving, small finishing touches that keep the collection from looking decorative for decoration’s sake.
That is what makes the capsule interesting in everyday dress. The textures do not need evening clothes to make sense. The rib-knit and tricot surfaces will do their best work against a white T-shirt, a fine-gauge crewneck or an unbuttoned shirting collar, where the jewelry can supply the tactility that a plain outfit lacks. The necklaces, especially the woven-chain and knot styles, feel like the right entry point for readers who want a recognizable design language without moving into heavier statement territory.
The launch also marks a significant step for Malo, the Florence-founded cashmere house established in 1972 by brothers Alfredo and Giacomo Canessa. Long known for artisanal knitwear and Made in Italy production, the brand has been expanding beyond clothing as it rebuilds under new ownership. Glickman Capital acquired Malo, Michelle Kessler-Sanders joined as CEO in June 2025, and the brand has been reasserting itself through seasonal accessories and a return to the United States with Saks Global and Neiman Marcus.
Presented on Malo’s official website as part of a Spring Summer 2026 jewelry offering, the capsule extends the house’s archive-minded reset into a new category. For a label built on cashmere, the move makes sense: these pieces do not abandon Malo’s identity, they distill it into gold-plated brass that can sit easily over denim, silk, wool and the brand’s own knitwear.
