The sculptural audacity of this Pomellato ring
Founded in Milan in 1967 by the heir to a family of goldsmiths, Pino Rabolini, the Italian house Pomellato revolutionised the sector by introducing the concept of ready-to-wear to high jewellery. The brand has built its reputation on generously proportioned creations and a bold use of coloured gemstones. This second-hand ring is a perfect illustration of this strong visual identity. It features a rich composition of oval- and round-cut amethysts totalling an estimated 15 carats. The gems have a deep, intense violet hue. The jewel is built around a bold contrast of materials combining an 18-carat rose gold body and a silver top cap.
Architecture and jewellery craftsmanship
The setting reveals an impressive domed structure. The solid ring body is forged in polished rose gold. It supports an imposing domed silver plate with a finely pearled and hammered surface. On this textured cap, multiple amethysts are held in place by closed settings. The organic assembly of oval and round gems creates an asymmetrical relief that catches the light from every angle. The substantial thickness of the rose gold band ensures that the piece is perfectly balanced on the finger despite the imposing volume of the central motif.
Why this second-hand cocktail ring
Acquiring a creation requiring such a concentration of precious alloys represents a particularly rational aesthetic choice. The second-hand market offers access to jewellery architectures of exceptional density. Forging a solid gold ring of this thickness and creating the meticulous textured setting in a contemporary workshop would require a considerably higher budget. This discerning approach offers the opportunity to own the distinctive design and 15 carat gemstones of an iconic Italian signature.
