Chapter 2 : TANZANITE PRINCESS CHAIN
This Lock Chain necklace transcends the barriers between genders and generations with a strong , masculine design , made up of fluid , feminine links and a working padlock set with diamonds . This bold design could be seen as a reflection of modern-day love . Randomly alternating links of yellow and white gold held together by a padlock that offers multiple ways to secure the jewel .
The equestrian world has inspired the rose gold links in the sumptuous Fantina Chain sautoir with three chains draped one below the other , all connected to an off-centre , oversized , elongated pear-shaped link set with diamonds . The diamond-covered clasp is echoed in a pair of elliptical earrings : two perfectly proportioned pavé oval links , one with white diamonds and the other with brown diamonds .
PRINCESS CHAINS
When Pomellato combines large , colourful stones with its famous gold chains , the result is a stunning line up of neo-Renaissance necklaces . The Red Tourmaline Chain necklace is composed of rose gold links with a pavé of sparkling brown diamonds , offset by a stunning 58.5-carat raspberry tourmaline pendant . The matching rose gold earrings are supple and flattering . They are adorned with cherry tourmalines in tear-drop shapes .
An eye-catching 76.66-carat red rubellite appears to float in the air at the centre of the Rubellite Chain choker . The design ’ s minimalist lines of two overlapping rose gold chains , showcase the dazzling cabochon-cut stone surrounded by diamonds . This bold piece with a medieval air could have come straight out of an illuminated manuscript .

In the second , the jeweller has used a monochrome colour palette to create a necklace , bracelet and a pair of earrings in white gold set with white diamonds . The streamlined pavé gives the ensemble a modern appeal .
