Pomellato’s chains embody an unmistakable elegance where rigid becomes fluid – gold becomes weightless in movement.
Pomellato is a word that describes a rare, dappled horse’s coat. When the brand’s founder, Pino Rabolini, began his path in the jewellery world, his father’s advice was to “pick a winning horse”. Inspired by this statement and his love for horses, Pino chose Pomellato as the name of his company.
But the equestrian world goes beyond the maison’s name. The horse’s movements, captured in patterns as sunlight dances across the animal in motion, create ever-shifting mosaics of light and shadow. This vision of fluid beauty became both philosophy and foundation, inspiring Pomellato’s iconic creation: the golden chain.
Just as a dappled coat is nature’s masterpiece – thousands of irregular circles flowing seamlessly across the horse’s body – Pomellato’s revolutionary chains transformed rigid gold into liquid movement. Each link, like each dapple, is both individual and inseparable from the whole.
Pino Rabolini liberated the gold chain from its supporting role, elevating it to centre stage. Just as choosing a dappled horse’s name for a luxury jewellery house was unconventional, elevating chains to fine jewellery status challenged every convention of the 1960s jewellery world. Both choices, the name and the chains, embodied the founder’s vision: to bring elegance and innovation on his own terms.
The Milanese goldsmiths who created these chains understood that elegance is motion captured in gold. They crafted pieces that defied jewellery conventions. Each link was individually shaped, polished and connected by hand. This exceptional craftsmanship became Pomellato’s signature, setting a new standard for Italian excellence.
Today, Pomellato’s chains remain symbols of this founding philosophy. From the first designs in the 1970s to contemporary Catene and Iconica collections, each creation carries forward a legacy of innovation. Every chain that emerges from Pomellato’s ateliers carries a heritage that expresses the freedom of movement, the singular beauty of craftsmanship and the unbreakable strength of perfectly forged links.
