At the heart of the evening was Stile Libero, a High Jewelry collection comprising 65 creations that celebrate bold colour, sculptural forms, and exceptional craftsmanship. Designed as an exploration of freedom and artistic expression, the collection transforms gemstones into contemporary statements of movement and individuality.
Among its standout pieces is Drops of Paraiba, where 21 Paraiba tourmalines appear like suspended droplets of light across an asymmetrical diamond-set choker designed to move naturally with the body.
Princess Rubellite centres around a remarkable 82.47-carat one-of-a-kind rubellite, bringing together Pomellato’s iconic chain codes with exceptional gemstone intensity.
Colour continues through Prism, a series of four sculptural statement rings featuring rows of peridots, indicolites, rubellites, and mandarin garnets, elevated through rose gold and diamond detailing.
Meanwhile, Mandarin Mirage places thirteen rare mandarin garnets at the centre of a striking necklace, their vivid orange tones amplified by a distinctive chain structure and diamond-set accents.
One of the collection’s most technically demanding creations, Rainbow Supreme, transforms colour into movement through a rivière necklace composed of 68 tourmalines arranged in a seamless rainbow degradé. Requiring 750 hours of craftsmanship, the piece becomes a fluid expression of light and artistry.
Completing the highlights is Mandala Chroma, a spectacular medallion built around a kaleidoscope of sapphires framed with brown diamonds, capturing Pomellato’s unmistakable language of colour and bold design.
With its Paris exhibition debut and the unveiling of Stile Libero, Pomellato continues to reinforce its place at the intersection of jewellery, art, and creative freedom.
