Tales of the unexpected
Timeless style meets unconventional detail with POMELLATO’s latest collection of colorful jewels
Parisian style has its insouciance. London has its eclecticism. And in Milan, it’s all about self-expression. Renowned for its playful, provocative and spirited approach to design, the Italian fashion industry injects our wardrobes with joy, like a shot of sartorial serotonin. From its time-honored ready-to-wear maisons to its haute joaillerie houses, the Italian approach combines craftsmanship and tradition with inimitable and ultra-glamorous style.
Milanese jewelry house Pomellato is the epitome of this originality. Ever since it was founded in 1967 by Pino Rabolini, it has infused classic jewelry shapes with fashion flair, pioneering the idea of ready-to-wear pieces and the use of bright, colorful gemstones. Rabolini was originally inspired by the impeccably chic Milanese women that he was surrounded by, so at the very heart and soul of the house are the women who faithfully wear it.
“Chiara Ferragni’s innate sense of style and entrepreneurial spirit are the personification of the house’s empowering philosophy
”
Today, under CEO Sabina Belli, Pomellato continues to make statement jewelry with enduring appeal. Its team of designers creates the most extraordinary and versatile pieces that can elevate dressed-down denim or add the perfect finishing touch to elegant eveningwear. Effortlessly embodying this contemporary spin on high fashion is Italian designer and influencer Chiara Ferragni, who Pomellato has announced as the 2018 campaign ambassador of Pomellato For Women – a community bringing together like-minded women to inspire and promote female leadership. As the founder and CEO of a truly modern fashion empire, Ferragni’s innate sense of style and forward-thinking, entrepreneurial spirit are the personification of the house’s empowering philosophy.
Ferragni is adored for her ability to put a unique spin on the latest trends and her love of dressing without prescription – an attitude that Pomellato has embraced and encouraged for decades. The house’s quintessential Nudo collection, centered around a contemporary take on the traditional solitaire, is the perfect example: crafted with innovative cutting and setting techniques, the beautifully simple rings and sophisticated earrings artfully catch the light, ensuring that the wearer will stand out even in the most casual of outfits.
The Iconica collection, meanwhile, draws on Pomellato’s rich history of goldsmithing; its rings, chain bracelets and pendants are a combination of bold designs and directional details. Nodding to the house’s past, its rings are a reimagining of an original 1970s gold band, refreshed and given a luxury, rebellious edge courtesy of stars, tear drops and triangles picked out in diamonds. They’re the perfect blend of tradition and the cutting-edge – just like the house of Pomellato itself.
