Pomellato unveils Pomellato Stile Libero, a new High Jewelry collection that turns freedom into a statement of style. Rooted in Milanese easy elegance, it celebrates freedom of self-expression and freedom of creation, inspired by a vision of femininity that has defined Pomellato since 1967: plural, self-defined, and never fixed. Expressed through vibrant color, confident volumes and exceptional craftsmanship, Pomellato Stile Libero honors the many sides of the Pomellato woman, and the quiet revolutions she makes simply by being herself. Interpreting modernity through the brand’s unmistakable spirit -intellectual, vibrant, unconventional- Pomellato Stile Libero opens new horizons in High Jewelry, where heritage is reimagined with a decisively contemporary attitude. Across 65 creations, the collection unfolds as a vivid, evolving narrative, much like the women who wear it. “Pomellato Stile Libero embodies High Jewelry in the free-spirited Pomellato way. Each creation holds precious stories of creativity and craftsmanship: jewels that unite distant worlds and push creative boundaries, emblems of beauty and wonder, conceived for women who are free, strong, and authentic protagonists of their own style,” declares Sabina Belli, Pomellato CEO. Freedom, with an eclectic spirit Freedom is the fil rouge of Pomellato Stile Libero, underscored by a discreet cultural echo: Eclecticism, the artistic movement that introduced freedom as a founding principle in the arts, breaking with rigid constraints and ushering in a true cultural shift. It opened the way to a wider, freer creative vocabulary by combining references across time and style. Like Eclecticism, Pomellato Stile Libero is born from an ars combinatoria, a metaphor for Pomellato’s own creative method, and a kind of synesthesia in which form, color, light, and touch meet in one expressive whole. The collection gathers and reinterprets diverse forms, colors, and materials with poised, harmonious elegance, bringing to life creations that reflect Pomellato’s Milanese goldsmithing artistry. A free-spirited philosophy takes shape through a craft-led method of creation: boundary-breaking savoir-faire; the art of goldsmithing, with gold worked into openwork architectures that breathe; the serti libre technique, allowing gemstones to settle into liberated compositions; and color curated like an artist’s palette, always anchored in the Maison’s unique mastery. For Vincenzo Castaldo, Pomellato Creative Director, “Pomellato Stile Libero is a mindset, the freedom to reject cages without insisting on a single, linear narrative. Pomellato Stile Libero is the art of moving instinctively, embracing the courage to blend skills and mastery. It is creativity expressed without fear, refined, liberated, and touched by a quiet, thoughtful provocation.” Pomellato Stile Libero unfolds across three chapters - Visionary Colors, Magnetic Gold and Hypnotic Shadows - each a distinct expression of the brand’s founding idea of freedom. POMELLATO STILE LIBERO High jewelry, crafted in freedom VISIONARY COLORS - Chromatic Audacity Color has always been one of Pomellato’s boldest expressions of freedom, and in Pomellato Stile Libero, it becomes a pure creative force. This chapter celebrates color in all its forms: a liberated exploration of its expressive power and the emotional pull of light, from aquatic palettes to tone-on-tone nuances, all the way to the most audacious pairings. Here, gemstones are the undisputed protagonists, selected not only for their rarity, but for the emotions they ignite. At the heart of this chapter is serti libre in its most accomplished expression: a savoir-faire in stone setting that lets gems alight upon metal in deconstructed, unexpected geometries, where apparent disorder unfolds into a fluid, organic harmony. Technical complexity dissolves into balance, natural shapes lead, compositions breathe, and asymmetry becomes refinement. And yet, at Pomellato, freedom is never defined by a single rule. Alongside liberated stones, prong settings, also known as griffes, appear as deliberate accents, offering another way to exalt height, light, and presence. The result is a composition of vibrant contrasts and tonal nuance, where light moves without interruption and color reads as pure presence. Among the standout creations in this chapter are Mandala Chromia, Drops of Paraíba, Serti Libre, and Rainbow Supreme. Mandala Chromia, a gold medallion necklace framed by brown diamonds, is centered on a hand-pierced openwork motif set with 99 rare multicolor natural sapphires in shifting nuances of pink, violet, yellow, blue, orange and green. Combining serti libre and Pomellato’s irregular setting, the creation, unique and impossible to replicate, conveys the Maison’s most daring vision of color. Drops of Paraíba, a semi-rigid choker capturing the electric poetry of light in motion, is set with 21 pear-shaped Paraíba tourmalines, each stone unique in size and shade, totalling 20.15 carats. Like a rain of shining droplets, the gems are set with Pomellato’s serti libre technique in a fluid, irregular composition. The accompanying drop earrings extend the same shimmering language of rare intensity. Serti Libre unfolds as three statement rings reinterpreting Pomellato’s obsession with colors and volumes through the Maison’s serti libre technique. Colored gemstones such as Mandarin garnets, pink spinels and tsavorites, combined with baguettecut diamonds or irregular pavé, create an unexpected rhythm of audacious colors and bold shapes. The result is vibrant, asymmetrical, and instinctive. Rainbow Supreme rivière necklace features an exceptional chromatic gradation of 68 round-cut tourmalines, totaling more than 157 carats flowing into a fluid spectrum of light, from transparent to pink, yellow, and green in a continuous dégradé. A heritage gourmette-chain detail introduces a graphic Pomellato signature, balancing exuberant color with natural ease and refinement. MAGNETIC GOLD - Style in Volume Gold is Pomellato’s original substance - vital, magnetic, powerful - it is style, embodied through volume. In Pomellato Stile Libero, gold flows like a pulse through creations crafted to be lived in, shaped into chains, chokers, bracelets, earrings and statement rings. Structure becomes softness; forms invite touch. This chapter celebrates gold’s encounter with diamonds in unusual cuts, shades, and tones: white and, above all, brown diamonds, introduced by Pomellato in 2003 and now emblematic of a Milanese elegance that is intellectual and nonconformist. Each creation is a study in proportion and presence, bold yet effortless, tactile yet refined, translating heritage into a new idea of freedom. A tribute to the noblest traditions of jewelry-making, reinterpreted through a forward-looking gaze, Pomellato Stile Libero speaks in the Maison’s own calligraphy: a handwriting shaped by the goldsmith’s touch, by taste, by intuition. In gold, Pomellato achieves a perfect synthesis of its personality, distilled into statement creations where a Milanese instinct for precision channels intensity into powerful style. This vision of gold finds expression in creations such as Attache, Byzantine, Note di Luce, and Audace. Attache distills Pomellato to its essence: the strength of the chain, the fluidity of gold, and a mastery of effortless volume. Inspired by a heritage chain from the Nineties, the rose gold necklace is animated by links of varied dimensions and diamond accents in white and brown. At its heart, a magnified central link illuminated by pavé and baguette-cut diamonds and set with four emerald-cut brown diamonds, transforms the necklace into three different ways of wearing. Byzantine transforms geometry into warmth through a modular choker of pure, chic design, where nine exceptional emeraldcut brown diamonds unfold in a measured progression around the neck. Softened by custom-made rose-gold bezels with subtle crater-like contours, the articulated construction lends the jewel a natural ease and a rare, opulent elegance. Note di Luce radiates through seven diamond rings that reinterpret the solitaire in the Pomellato way, each expressing a unique character through unexpected hues, distinctive cuts, and bespoke settings. Together, they form a luminous composition of curved volumes, asymmetry, and unique personality. Audace reinterprets the emblematic Gourmette chain from Pomellato’s 1972 archives into a High Jewelry necklace through a modular rose gold construction. White and brown fancy-cut diamonds, set in Pomellato’s signature irregular technique, create a warm dialogue of light, revealing the audacity and modern spirit of this iconic design. Established in Milan in 1967, Pomellato is renowned for its unique design, colorful gemstones, and elegant yet unconventional style. Each jewel is crafted by the hands of over 150 highly skilled artisans at Casa Pomellato’s Milan headquarters, combining the finest craftsmanship with a contemporary soul. As part of its commitment to a more eco-conscious future, Pomellato has achieved 100% responsible gold purchasing, invests in the traceability of colored stones and diamonds, and collaborates with a Milan-based goldsmith’s school to safeguard the excellence of this craft. Through its Pomellato for Women platform, the Maison champions female empowerment by advocating for and supporting women’s strength, independence, and rights. Pomellato is part of Kering, a global luxury group, managing the development of a series of renowned houses in Fashion, Leather goods and Jewelry. HYPNOTIC SHADOWS, Mastery of Technique Pomellato’s original revolution began with savoir-faire. From the very beginning, the Maison has renewed the codes of jewelry by uniting time-honored techniques with a modern design sensibility. With Pomellato Stile Libero, this spirit is carried forward, translating one of the oldest goldsmithing techniques, openwork, into a High Jewelry chapter of striking immediacy, expressed through two complementary visions. The first reinterprets a classical technique through the eyes and exceptional artistry of French master artisan Sara Bran, who offers a poetic study of solids and voids, light and shadow, in a floral motif where movement and tactility soften every line. Arabesque necklace is crafted in rose gold and hand-pierced into an intricate architecture of lace-like openings, illuminated by 18 fancy rose-cut diamonds and requiring 1,450 hours of craftsmanship. A pair of white gold manchette bracelets complete the parure. The second interpretation transforms signature Pomellato volumes through hand-pierced gold into an airy composition of fluid, interlaced forms. Here, the openwork motif is reimagined the Pomellato way: a pattern that echoes the sinuous movement of chains. Ipnotica rings and earrings transform Pomellato’s modern vision of openwork goldsmithing into a geometric language in motion. The design reveals harmonious asymmetries across rounded volumes with a subtle bas-relief effect set with white and brown diamonds. Echoing this design, Ipnotica Titanio stages a sophisticated dialogue between layers of white diamonds and the modern edge of black titanium, creating a striking contrast. The daring spirit of Pomellato inspires a liberated vision of High Jewelry. In Pomellato Stile Libero, audacity unfolds as a language of bold color and sculptural form, brought to life through expressive gem-setting and exceptional artisanal virtuosity
