Malo debuts knitwear-inspired jewelry capsule for layering

Malo’s first jewelry capsule treats metal like fabric, translating the brand’s ribbing, knotting and interlacing into pieces made for layering rather than solo display. In a market that has moved toward intentional stacks, that textural approach matters: woven surfaces and tensioned details give necklaces and bracelets enough visual depth to sit beside smoother chains without disappearing.

The 11-piece line spans necklaces, chains, rings and bracelets, and the best of it reads less like costume jewelry than a study in surface. Malo’s product descriptions point to woven texture, knot details, ribbed chain effects and black-lacquer accents, with one gold-tone brass necklace listed at $565 on the U.S. site. That price places the capsule in the realm of accessible luxury, but the real value is in the construction language. A polished chain can flatten a stack; a ribbed link or knotted form creates rhythm, catching light at different points and giving the wrist or neckline a more tailored sense of movement.

The jewelry also extends a broader relaunch that has been unfolding since Glickman Capital acquired Malo in March 2025. Michelle Kessler-Sanders was named chief executive as part of that change, and the strategy she has described has centered on evaluating, elevating and resetting the brand while restoring quality. Less than eight months after the acquisition, Malo also returned to the U.S. with a 10-piece pre-spring 2026 womenswear capsule at Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus, alongside a new creative team and a reopened office and showroom in Milan.

That gives the jewelry capsule a sharper read than a simple category extension. Malo was founded in Florence in 1972 and remains based there, with about 175 stockists and seven flagships in Milan, Rome, Venice, Porto Rotondo, Forte Dei Marmi, Courchevel and Marbella. By carrying knitwear signatures into brass and gold-tone brass, Malo is making a case for tactile jewelry that does not merely decorate a stack but structures it, bringing the softness of cashmere into the geometry of modern layering.
