Founded in Milan in 1967 by Pino Rabolini, Pomellato has since become an icon of Italian jewelry and an emblem of contemporary elegance. Rabolini hailed from a family of goldsmiths and, rather than following the trends of contemporaries like Cartier or Bulgari, set out to challenge traditional notions of luxury and redefine the concept of fine jewelry. Inspired by the vibrant colors of gemstones, Rabolini embraced unconventional materials and bold designs. This approach soon garnered attention and acclaim, establishing Pomellato as a pioneer in the industry.
One of the brand's signatures is its innovative use of colored gemstones. Pomellato embraces the beauty of various stones, from vivid amethysts and luscious rubies to vibrant topaz and striking sapphires. By carefully selecting and setting these gems, Pomellato creates one-of-a-kind pieces that reflect both the natural beauty of the stones and the artistic vision of the brand. The company is also committed to artisanal craftsmanship and its ateliers, located in Milan, are home to skilled artisans who bring each design to life with meticulous attention to detail. These master craftsmen utilize traditional techniques passed down through generations, blending them seamlessly with modern technology to achieve unparalleled quality.
Pomellato's jewelry collections are a celebration of femininity, individuality, and self-expression. Each piece exudes a sense of sophistication and sensuality, combining clean lines with unexpected shapes and textures. The jewelry's fluid and contemporary designs effortlessly complement both casual and formal attire, making it a favorite among fashion-forward women worldwide.
Over the years, Pomellato has expanded its offerings beyond jewelry to include watches and fragrances, further solidifying its presence as a multifaceted luxury brand. However, it is jewelry that remains at the heart of the company, attracting discerning customers who appreciate the fusion of artistry and Italian heritage that Pomellato represents.
