The sculptural audacity of this vintage Pomellato pendant
In the 1990s, Italian jewellery broke strict codes to introduce a sculptural and playful design, spearheaded by Milanese Maison Pomellato with its bestiary collection. This second-hand pendant necklace in 18-carat yellow gold perfectly embodies this bold aesthetic. Sculpted in the guise of a dog, this second-hand jewellery piece makes a statement with its stylised animal silhouette, designed to combine raw volume and urban portability.
Architecture and jewellery expertise
The engineering of this piece is based on a fully mobile three-dimensional architecture. The pendant is assembled by strong, invisible internal pins that allow independent articulation of the head, upper and lower legs. This demanding mechanism ensures fluid movement while preserving the robustness of the solid frame. The solid gold body provides a marked contrast to the delicacy of the generic round forçat mesh chain, fitted with a reliable lobster clasp, creating a strong and assertive visual balance.
Why this second-hand pendant necklace
Acquiring an articulated vintage piece of this scale is a savvy move. Contemporary industry rarely produces models of such metal density because of the complexity of assembly and the cost of raw materials. This large model offers a carnal volume and undeniable statutory presence no longer found in today's collections, ensuring enduring desirability for lovers of characterful jewellery.
