Few brands can boast of hosting an evening inside Milan's iconic Pinacoteca di Brera gallery—but Pomellato certainly can. Last Friday, the renowned Milanese jeweler held an unforgettable gala beneath the Italian sunset to unveil its latest high jewelry collection, Collezione 1967. The exclusive guest list included actresses America Ferrera, Laura Harrier, and Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu.
More than a mere debut, Collezione 1967 serves as a bold manifesto of Pomellato's enduring commitment to Italian craftsmanship, centuries-old goldsmithing techniques, and a legacy of creative freedom. Comprising 75 pieces, the collection delves into the maison's rich heritage, offering a journey through the decades. The 1970s usher in a 'chain revolution,' referencing a time in Milan charged with youthful rebellion. The 1980s chapter sees Pomellato 'breaking the rules of design,' leaning into the exuberant expressionism born from the era of Italian power dressing. Finally, a 'chromatic vision' defines the 1990s, with 37 vibrant pieces showcasing the decade's dynamic relationship with color and form.
The collection uniquely showcases the house's signature rose gold and cabochon (polished but not faceted) gems—hallmarks of its distinctive style. With careful attention to these iconic codes, in-house gem master Stefano Cortecci reimagined the brand's rich history through a modern lens. Chain-link bracelets, multicolored jewel-encrusted rings, and pavé zipper necklaces reinvigorated timeless designs.
Guests were first welcomed at Pomellato's headquarters for an exclusive preview of the collection, before heading to the storied halls of the Pinacoteca di Brera for the evening's main event. To mark the occasion, the brand kicked off the evening with a runway show, pairing each piece with a designer look. My personal favorite? A link necktie that perfectly complemented a low-cut catsuit with padded shoulders. The look was completed with a Duetto ring, adding an unexpected pop of color. The night concluded with a dinner prepared by two-Michelin-starred chef Antonio Guida—a fitting finale to a picture-perfect Italian outing.
