In an era where heritage often bends to fleeting trends, Pomellato remains steadfast in its commitment to craftsmanship, individuality, and a defiant sense of style. With its 2025 High Jewelry collection—Collezione 1967—the Milanese maison offers not merely a tribute, but a bold manifesto. This is not jewelry that whispers; it speaks, with confident elegance, of decades of design innovation, chromatic experimentation, and sculptural audacity.
Drawing on the vitality of three transformative decades—each rich in its cultural symbolism and aesthetic cues—the collection’s 75 masterworks span the rebellious 1970s, the architectural 1980s, and the color-soaked 1990s. Together, they form a chronological voyage through Milan’s most pivotal design eras, reinterpreted through Pomellato’s visionary lens.
At the heart of the collection is the chain—not as a mere accessory, but as protagonist. The ’70s segment explores its metamorphosis from functional form to statement sculpture. The Aquamarine Dream necklace, with its gradated forçat chain and twin gemstones of remarkable clarity, evokes the rhythm of Mediterranean tides. Meanwhile, the Art of Chainsbracelet captures the maison’s fascination with layering and personalisation, nodding to the liberation of style that defined the decade.
The ’80s segment is pure theatre—bold, sensuous, and architectural. From the Asimmetrico Tanzanite suite with its 55.96-carat centre stone, to the explosive beauty of Rivière Zigzag with rubellite and green tourmaline, Pomellato channels Milan’s avant-garde fervor with extraordinary flair. These are not mere jewels; they are wearable sculptures, born from 700 hours of master craftsmanship, where metal and gemstone fuse like brushstroke and canvas.
Yet, it’s in the chromatic playground of the 1990s that Pomellato finds its most unrestrained voice. Pieces like Lagoon Bavarole and Marvelous Griffe redefine gemstone narrative, using unexpected combinations of hue, cut, and texture to craft compositions that feel at once contemporary and eternal. Here, sensuality meets geometry, and restraint yields to joie de vivre.
Throughout the collection, one principle remains clear: Pomellato does not create jewelry for the sake of opulence, but as a form of artistic expression. Vincenzo Castaldo, the maison’s Creative Director, describes it as “a powerful return to our roots,” one that distills Pomellato’s soul into finely honed shapes, rebellious curves, and intuitive elegance.
This is jewelry that wears its identity proudly—rooted in Milanese heritage, raised on the shoulders of design greats, and envisioned for a woman who is unapologetically herself.
The mastery behind Collezione 1967 is not just in its forms but in its fearless use of color. Whether it’s the saturated pinks of tourmaline, the oceanic depths of aquamarine, or the almost electric energy of tanzanite, each gemstone is selected for its personality—not perfection. Pomellato’s colorists seek soul over symmetry, placing emotional resonance above conventional hierarchy. In this way, color becomes language—a form of nonverbal expression worn against the skin.
What distinguishes this collection is its emotional alchemy: each jewel feels intimate yet expansive, structured yet sensual. Pieces like the Griffe Ring—with its open design and asymmetrical setting—embrace the idea that beauty lies in irregularity, in movement, in the tension between balance and freedom. The ring, while exquisite in execution, becomes a symbol of feminine autonomy, unbound by traditional forms.
Pomellato also continues to push technical boundaries through complex craftsmanship techniques. Several of the chains and bavarole necklaces required months of development and hundreds of hours of goldsmithing—often from artisans trained within Pomellato’s own Milanese ateliers. Details like hidden clasps, mirror-polished links, and articulated gemstone settings reflect an obsessive attention to comfort, durability, and the unseen gestures of luxury.
It is also a collection that acknowledges its wearer—someone who seeks more than ornamentation. These pieces are designed not simply to be admired in vitrines but to move with the rhythm of their owner’s life, to be layered, reinterpreted, and lived in. This philosophy of wearable high jewelry underpins Pomellato’s vision: a democratization of luxury that doesn’t diminish its sophistication, but rather redefines it.
In many ways, Collezione 1967 is more than an homage—it is an act of creative continuity. It bridges the past and future of Italian design, reminding us that true innovation is rooted in identity. Milan has always been a city of edges and elegance, and with this new high jewelry chapter, Pomellato invites us into its boldest expression yet—where elegance isn’t quiet, it’s confident.
