JEWELLERY
Rivière VENEZIA
Chapter 2 : TASSEL TIE CHAIN
Pomellato ’ s passion for colour is expressed in this design , which offers a unifying harmony of pastel gemstones from the 2009 Arabesque necklace and the Pin Up earrings from 2006 . The combination of smoky quartz , prasiolite , amethysts and rock crystal transforms this neoclassical-inspired necklace into a precious , sophisticated jewel .
In the same spirit , the 2006 Eva cameo earrings with a snake motif are paired with blue topazes . Their timeless appeal comes from the contrast between opaque , organic material and transparent gems , exquisitely juxtaposed in this design .
Bavarole LUCKY STARS
This bold , glamorous Étoiles [ Stars ] necklace is a constellation of five jet and diamond stars made in 2014 that shine out from gold Capri chains with black ceramic and blue sapphire details . The clasp set with shimmering white and brown diamonds from the 2005 Echo collection is added into the mix for a sensual touch .
The same star motif , this time in a pavé of moonstones , topaz and baroque pearls from the Sirene collection , appear on earrings sure to light up the red carpet .
Chapter 1 : T-BAR BRACELET
LA GIOIA - CHAPTER II
Since 1967 , when Pomellato was founded , chains and links have been one of the house ’ s signature designs and used in hundreds of ways , a testimony to the jeweller ’ s passion for the simple gold chain . For the second part of LA GIOIA collection , Pomellato declares its love for the chain in three different designs : Contemporary Links , Princess Chains and Absolute Chains .
T-BAR BRACELET
The flat and rounded-square links of the graphic Pattern Two necklace originally created in 2002 add suppleness to this chunky Double bracelet . The jewel is enhanced by the addition of a large faceted jet cabochon , which in its former life was a pendant from the Victoria collection and now the focal point of this ultracontemporary design .
Along the same lines , a vintage rose gold gourmette bracelet set with diamonds is transformed into a Victorian brooch , brought up to the moment by a beautifully carved jet ring from a study carried out in Pomellato ’ s atelier in 2007 .
CONTEMPORARY LINKS
Pomellato , master of the art of chain making , plays with volumes in the Y-Chain necklace featuring geometrically disparate links . This highly desirable and sophisticated design is sensual with an oversized link set on both sides with white and brown diamonds that sits gracefully against the skin . The Y-chain is an easy-to-wear , versatile jewel that can be worn with a dinner jacket or jeans .
The Tassel Tie Chain , a long open sautoir popular in the Roaring Twenties , is given a contemporary , rock ’ n ’ roll update . The chain has weighty oval-shaped links made of white and rose gold that culminate in two tassels of delicate gold chains dotted with white diamonds .
