Pomellato: Milanese Jewellery in Motion

Pino Rabolini founded Pomellato in Milan in 1967 and drew on prêt-à-porter to imagine fine jewellery for daily wear. Kering describes this as a new place for jewellery in everyday dressing.^[1,2]

Pomellato introduced its first gourmette chain in 1967. Its retrospective follows chains as a house signature, from that original link to later, voluptuous designs.^[1,2]

Kering’s 2016 annual report identifies lost-wax casting as a signature Pomellato technique and links it to fluid, flowing shapes. The group’s retrospective also highlights the role of coloured gemstones and sculptural volume in the brand’s later design language.^[1,3]
