**Editor’s Note:** Pomellato’s Stile Libero collection redefines high jewelry with 65 pieces that celebrate freedom through bold forms, vibrant colors, and unconventional materials. As CEO Sabina Belli notes, it embodies the brand’s free-spirited ethos.
Milan—Pomellato has released its latest high jewelry collection, which turns freedom into a statement of style through 65 pieces.
This is seen in the collection through its use of diverse forms, colors, and materials. 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. In these pieces, Pomellato translates the goldsmithing technique of openwork into high jewelry that is expressed in two subchapters.
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.
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.
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 “Eye of Tanzanite” necklace centers on a 15.30-carat marquise-cut cabochon tanzanite flanked by two trillion-cut diamonds with sapphire and diamond pavé, while the “Pin-Up” ring features a 19.39-carat rectangular-cut tanzanite accented by diamonds, both in 18-karat rose gold. All pieces are price upon request.
Bold color, expressive gem-setting, and sculptural form define the three chapters that make up “Stile Libero.”
The sentiment is reflected in the collection’s name “Stile Libero,” which translates to “freestyle” in Italian.
