Pomellato’s New High Jewelry Collection Celebrates Milan
“The Dualism of Milan” collection features two chapters representing the monochromatic and colorful spirit of the city.
It is split into two chapters, “Milan’s Monochromatic Treasures,” which has 23 pieces, and “Milanese Color Prism” with 28 pieces.
“First and foremost, I wanted to convey the spirit of the city, a mix of rationalist architecture, skyscrapers with their sinuous lines, the nighttime atmosphere of the shopping arcades,” said Castaldo.
“Then I wanted to illustrate this ability that Milan has always had to focus on color in every creation, such as the work of Gio Ponti or the Memphis Group.”
Milan’s Monochromatic Treasures has a refined aesthetic with discreet details and a subtle use of color.
The “Asimmetrico” earrings were inspired by César Pelli’s Milanese architecture.
They are bold yet feminine, said the brand, as they were designed to be sensual and sculptural.
Pomellato’s “Moonstones” choker necklace is a representation of the weather in Milan, as the city is often enveloped in mist.
As a homage to the star mosaics in Milan’s planetarium, Castaldo created the “Cielo Stellato” necklace.
It uses gray sapphires, gray spinels, and blue spinels to create a star at the focal point of the chain.
The second chapter, “Milanese Color Prism,” contrasts the first with organic cuts and unexpected color combinations.
The choice of fuchsia spinels, blue tanzanites, and green tourmalines are meant to create pieces that radiate pure chromatic joy, said the brand.
With a variety of hues and baroque-cut gemstones, the “Baroco” necklace embraces the color and creativity of this chapter.
The green tourmaline ring continues the use of irregular baroque-cut gemstones, pairing it with a gourmette style chain.
The “Spinelli Di Fuoco” plastron necklace truly highlights the variety of hues used in this Milanese chapter.
The red, pink, purple, violet, gray, orange, amber, and scarlet spinel cabochons move fluidly with the wearer as they each sit in a uniquely designed closed or prong setting.
“In combining these two apparently opposite faces of Milan – one concrete, the other intangible, each with its own character – this high jewelry collection gives us a true, in-depth, multi-dimensional view of the city,” said Castaldo.
Pomellato’s “The Dualism of Milan” collection debuted last week.
