CRAFTMANSHIP

THE ART OF GEMS

In the world of precious stones, nature's true artistry lies in its distinctive expressions. The "Art of Gems" philosophy celebrates these unique characteristics, embracing what others might call imperfections as precious signatures of authenticity. Each stone reveals its singular personality through revolutionary cutting techniques, including the patented 57-facet Nudo cut, which liberates rather than constrains natural beauty. In Pomellato master artisans' hands, every inclusion becomes a chapter in the stone journey, every variation a mark of its freedom. Through this transformative process, more than jewelry emerges – emotional treasures that honor both the gem's innate character and the unique spirit of those who wear them come to life.

‘FREE GEMS’ PHILOSOPHY

Since 1967, Pomellato has forged a rebellious path in the world of jewelry, where unconventional beauty meets masterful Italian craftsmanship. At the heart of the Maison lies a revolutionary spirit embodied in the 'Free Gems' philosophy – 'Pomellato e le pietre libere' in Italian. This approach transcends traditional jewelry-making conventions, considering each gemstone's unique character before determining its journey from rough crystal to finished masterpiece. Like the confident women who inspire the Maison, every creation celebrates authenticity and individual expression. Through joyful, sensual designs, each piece becomes a powerful statement of freedom that honors the natural beauty of the stones.

Made in Milan

Every day in Pomellato’s Milan atelier, over 100 artisans craft one-of-a-kind jewels. Each gemstone creation is brought to life by their passion and expertise, forged by hours of meticulous labor and inventive solutions. This process brings together precious metals such as Pomellato’s signature rose gold, fine diamonds, and colored gems from all over the world.

Creativity

Synonymous with creativity and color, Pomellato was founded in Milan in 1967 by Pino Rabolini – the heir to his family’s goldsmith legacy. Introducing the prêt-à-porter philosophy to the traditionally conservative world of jewelry.
Rabolini revolutionized women’s fashion choices while shaping Pomellato with a powerful, fashion-forward identity. Fifty years later, his jubilant, distinctive designs have grown to be revered both in Italy and across the international jewelry landscape.

Colour

To capture the emotion of a jewel, instinct becomes an important guide. Inspirations are expressed within the jewel’s shapes – like perfect, tiny sculptures – each crafted by a combination of invention, curiosity and the Maison’s singular style. Free from convention, Pomellato pursues alternative solutions and perspectives in its jewels, rendering them tangible by the tactile and visual qualities of its authenticity.

Craftsmanship

Amongst many expert techniques, Pomellato craftsmen most often employ microfusion. Also known as lost-wax casting, the process dates back to 3500 B.C., and allows the soft lines and voluminous, flowing shapes that the Maison has come to be known for. This goldsmith art is used to set increasingly rare semi-precious stones – known as the ‘new precious’ gems – to create jubilant, contemporary Pomellato jewels. In-house goldsmith creation is an essential part of the Milanese brand’s identity and renown. Jewelry-making knowledge and experimentation involve rituals of painstaking care, and attention to materials.
