About Pomellato

In Milan's jewelry landscape dominated by formal high jewelry traditions, Pino Rabolini introduced a revolutionary concept that would transform fine jewelry conventions. Drawing from his family's goldsmithing heritage but inspired by the ready-to-wear revolution transforming fashion, Rabolini founded Pomellato to create "prêt-à-porter" jewelry—pieces designed for everyday wearing rather than special occasions, crafted with precious materials but liberated from traditional jewelry formality.

What immediately distinguished Pomellato was their bold volumetric approach to gold. While conventional jewelry emphasized either intricate detailing or gemstone settings, Pomellato pioneered substantial three-dimensional gold forms with tactile, sculptural qualities that made gold itself the protagonist rather than merely the setting. This distinctive aesthetic emerged through innovative manufacturing techniques that created voluminous forms without excessive weight—allowing statement scale with comfortable wearability unusual in fine jewelry.

The brand's color philosophy further differentiated their approach from traditional jewelers. Rather than focusing exclusively on conventional precious stones, Pomellato embraced both unusual colored gemstone varieties and distinctive cutting techniques that emphasized character over standardization. This approach introduced vibrant, unexpected color combinations that complemented their bold gold forms—creating distinctive chromatic identities for signature collections like Nudo, Capri, and Victoria that remain instantly recognizable decades after their introduction.

Pomellato's evolution has balanced innovative design with Italian craftsmanship traditions. While continuously developing contemporary aesthetics, they maintain production in their Milan atelier where specialized goldsmiths employ techniques passed through generations alongside modern technology. This commitment to Italian manufacturing, combined with their distinctive design language and now reinforced through their integration into the Kering luxury group, has established Pomellato as one of Italy's most recognizable jewelry identities and a pioneer of the contemporary fine jewelry category that bridges traditional luxury and modern lifestyle.
