Pomellato’s New High Jewelry Is Liberating
Bold color, expressive gem-setting, and sculptural form define the three chapters that make up “Stile Libero.”

This sentiment is reflected in the collection’s name “Stile Libero,” which translates to “freestyle” in Italian.
The collection celebrates freedom of self-expression and freedom of creation, as it was inspired by the brand’s vision of femininity, which it said is “plural, self-defined, and never fixed.”
This is expressed through vibrant colors, confident volumes, and exceptional craftsmanship.
“Pomellato Stile Libero embodies high jewelry in the free-spirited Pomellato way,” said Sabina Belli, CEO of Pomellato.
“Each creation holds precious stories of creativity and craftsmanship: jewels that unite distant worlds and push creative boundaries, emblems of beauty and wonder, conceived for women who are free, strong, and authentic protagonists of their own style.”
The main theme of freedom is underscored by eclecticism, said Pomellato, which, in the fine arts, refers to a style that blends elements from various eras and cultural influences.
This is seen in the collection through its use of diverse forms, colors, and materials.
“Pomellato Stile Libero is a mindset, the freedom to reject cages without insisting on a single, linear narrative. Pomellato Stile Libero is the art of moving instinctively, embracing the courage to blend skills and mastery,” said Vincenzo Castaldo, creative director of Pomellato.
The Stile Libero collection is divided into three chapters that each express Pomellato’s founding idea of freedom.
They are “Visionary Colors,” “Magnetic Gold,” and “Hypnotic Shadows.”
The Visionary Colors chapter celebrates color in all of its forms.
It is a liberated exploration of the expressive power of color and the emotional pull of light, said the jeweler.
It includes aquatic palettes, tone-on-tone nuances, and vibrant gemstones.
This chapter also focuses on stones set in unexpected geometries via the brand’s “serti libre” technique.
Prongs are also used as deliberate accents, resulting in pieces with vibrant contrasts, tonal nuances, and light movement.
The “Mandala Chromia” necklace is a standout of the chapter, the pendant is a medallion of 99 rare multicolor sapphires in hues of pink, violet, yellow, blue, orange, and green. The whole motif is framed by a circle of brown diamonds.
Another standout is the “Drops of Paraíba” choker.
It captures “the electric poetry of light in motion,” the brand said, with 21 pear-cut Paraíba tourmalines totaling just over 20 carats that resemble shining droplets of rain set via the serti libre technique amongst pavé diamonds on a rose gold collar.
The Magnetic Gold chapter embodies freedom through voluminous gold chains, chokers, bracelets, earrings, and statement rings.
The gold is paired with diamonds in unusual cuts, shades, and tones, from white to brown.
The rose gold “Attache” necklace was inspired by a Pomellato chain from the ‘90s.
It uses white and brown diamonds as accents on the chain while pavé and baguette diamonds adorn the central link, which is set with four emerald-cut brown diamonds totaling 6.74 carats.
The pieces in this chapter are also a tribute to the tradition of jewelry making, highlighting “the goldsmith’s touch, taste, and intuition,” the brand said.
The seven “Note di Luce” rings are another highlight of the Magnetic Gold chapter.
Each gold ring is set with a diamond, or diamonds, of a unique hue and distinctive cut in a bespoke setting.
The final chapter, Hypnotic Shadows, showcases how Pomellato craftsmanship has merged time-honored techniques with modern design sensibility.
In these pieces, Pomellato translates the goldsmithing technique of openwork into high jewelry that is expressed in two subchapters.
The first is a collaboration with French master artisan Sara Bran, an artist that Pomellato said offers “a poetic study of solids and voids, light and shadow, in a floral motif.”
The “Arabesque” set features white and rose gold pieces hand-pierced in a design that simulates lace.
The second subchapter reimagines the openwork motif as a pattern that echoes the movement of chains.
A highlight is the “Ipnotica” earrings that feature rounded volumes with a subtle bas-relief effect set with diamonds.
The Stile Libero collection launched on June 23 and can be seen on the Pomellato website.
