The story
Pomellato began operating in 1967, introducing the concept of prêt-à-porter jewellery, the idea that jewellery is not just a status symbol but an accessory to be worn at any moment of the day and changed like clothes. In the 1980s the advertising campaigns for the jewellery brand generated global attention, one was photographed by Helmut Newton.
In the 1990s, Pomellato particularly focused on using colored stones. The company has also made its mark in producing chains. In 2007, to celebrate its 40th year, Pomellato made its debut in high-end jewellery with the launch of the Pom Pom collection: 40 pieces sold by appointment in New York, Paris, Milan and Monte Carlo.
Vincenzo Castaldo was named creative director in 2004. In October 2009, Andrea Morante became the new chief executive officer of the group and minority shareholder of RA.MO, the holding company of the Rabolini family that controlled Pomellato and Dodo.
In July 2013, Kering acquired Pomellato. Sabina Belli was appointed CEO of Pomellato group in December 2015.
In 2017, Pomellato launched Pomellato for Women, a platform advocating gender equality and raising awareness against violence against women.
