Milanese jeweller Pomellato has launched a colourful new high jewellery collection, Stile Libero, as a celebration of self-expression, freedom and bold design. Take a closer look at the collection below.
Despite the scorching temperatures of a Parisian heatwave, there was plenty of ice on display in the French capital this week, as Pomellato chose it as the location to unveil its latest high jewellery collection. Entitled Stile Libero, the vibrant line is intended as a colourful tribute to a sense of freedom and creative expression.
Both of these concepts have been central to the raison d’être of Pomellato since its earliest days. Founded by Pino Rabolini in 1967, the Milanese jewellery house has since made bold, convention-defying silhouettes, fabulous gold chains and vibrant gemstones key parts of its signature style.
“Pomellato Stile Libero embodies high jewellery in the free-spirited Pomellato way,” says Sabina Belli, Pomellato’s CEO. “Each creation holds 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.”
With ‘Stile Libero’ meaning ‘free style’, the line up of 65 pieces is rooted in the eclecticism of Milan in the 1960s, when Rabolini and his creative set broke away from the strict fashion, art and style conventions of the day. Pomellato’s Creative Director, Vincenzo Castaldo, has paid homage to this freewheeling spirit with a diverse range of colourful gemstones, artistic techniques and materials within the collection.
“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,” says Castaldo, of his designs. “It is creativity expressed without fear, refined, liberated, and touched by a quiet, thoughtful provocation.”
Divided into three chapters, Stile Libero showcases the pinnacle of Pomellato’s craftsmanship. In the Visionary Colours chapter, fabulous, juicy-hued gemstones take centre stage in kaleidoscopic jewels that range from aquatic palettes of cool blues and greens to fiery pinks and reds, via rainbow-like assortments of tourmalines, sapphires, garnets, tsavorites, spinels and diamonds.
Meanwhile, the Magnetic Gold chapter focuses on the extraordinary goldsmithing and chain work that has defined Pomellato’s style since the beginning (Rabolini hailed from an illustrious line of goldsmiths), with fluid link necklaces set with sparkling diamonds, voluminous gold rings and interpretations of the house’s signature Gourmette chain in rose gold and set with fancy-cut diamonds.
To close, the Hypnotic Shadows chapter brings the technical audacity of openwork design to the fore, with dazzling rings, earrings, cuffs and necklaces rendered as airy as lace with intricate hand-piercing techniques.
In all, it’s a masterclass in what can happen when designers are given freedom to be daring. And that’s not all Pomellato has been working on in recent months. The house has also unveiled Pomellato, Le Joaillier Révolutionnaire, its first ever exhibition in Paris. Curated by Alba Cappellieri, Head of Jewelry Design at Politecnico di Milano, it spotlights the various artistic and creative revolutions the house has broached since its foundation, with arresting campaign images by visionaries at the height of their craft, such as Gian Paolo Barbieri, Horst P. Horst and Helmut Newton.
The exhibition runs from June 24th to July 20th 2026 at the Palais de Tokyo Museum in Paris and free entry is offered on reservations, which are now open on the Pomellato website.
