Founded in 1967, a revolutionary time for women’s independence, Pomellato jewelry was created with the empowered female in mind. As women flocked to the workforce in numbers never seen before, their daily roles and needs evolved. Pomellato recognized that the independent woman would need a more functional, versatile jewel to wear from workday to evening, and the prêt-a-porter jewelry concept was born. Since, Pomellato has been known as the brand that designs for women. 74% of the Milanese jeweler’s workforce is female, most of its clientele are women buying jewels for themselves. The PomellatoForWomen campaign was launched in 2017, to feature an inclusive cross-section of real-life women from various disciplines, ages and arts. Acting as bearers of Pomellato values, these inspirational women promote a more authentic idea of natural beauty.
