Pre-Owned Pomellato Jewelry
At Mad Lords, pre-owned Pomellato jewelry holds a special place. Our selection brings together authenticated pieces from the Milanese Maison, including iconic rings and vintage bracelets, for those who appreciate jewelry that is free-spirited, colorful, and deeply personal.
Pomellato: The Milanese Heritage That Reinvented Fine Jewelry
Founded in 1967 in Milan by Pino Rabolini, Pomellato was born from a simple yet revolutionary idea: bringing fine jewelry into everyday life. At a time when traditional jewelry houses reserved gold and precious gemstones for formal occasions, Pomellato pioneered the concept of ready-to-wear jewelry, a bold and innovative approach for its era.
The Italian Maison made colored gemstones its signature, elevating smoky quartz, amethyst, peridot, and topaz to iconic status. From Nudo and Iconica to Ritratto and M'ama non m'ama, each collection reflects the joyful and organic spirit that sets Pomellato apart from the great Parisian jewelry houses.
Why Choose Pre-Owned Pomellato at Mad Lords
Buying pre-owned Pomellato from Mad Lords gives you access to pieces that are often impossible to find in current boutiques. Certain discontinued collections and uniquely colored gemstones are now available only on the vintage market. Our role is to source them, authenticate them, and offer them with the assurance of complete expertise.
Every Pomellato jewel is carefully inspected by our gemology team. The gold is verified, the gemstones are examined, and the provenance is documented. You acquire a piece designed to accompany you through time, within a sustainable and circular approach that extends the life of fine jewelry without compromising on quality.
Pomellato Collections Featured in Our Selection
Ritratto: The Signature of Colored Gemstones
Ritratto is the most represented collection in our pre-owned Pomellato selection. Its cabochon-cut rings, available in mini, medium, and maxi sizes, celebrate gemstones in all their richness. Smoky quartz, amethyst, jasper, lapis lazuli, tiger’s eye, rose quartz, and blue topaz—each variation tells a story of mood, season, and brilliance.
M'ama non m'ama: The Talisman Jewel
M'ama non m'ama embraces the idea of intimate, almost ritualistic jewelry. Crafted in 18-carat gold and set with round gemstones, the collection evokes the childhood game of plucking daisy petals while wondering, “Loves me, loves me not.” Rings, bracelets, and pendants form a delicate family of pieces that can be worn alone or layered. A subtle detail that transforms everyday jewelry.
Catene: The Rebellious Chain
Catene reinterprets the chain with a raw yet refined elegance. Featuring earrings and long necklaces in yellow gold adorned with tourmalines or pink sapphires, the collection embodies a strong sense of character. This is Pomellato for free spirits, balancing classic fine jewelry with a chic bohemian attitude.
Lucciole: Delicate Light
Lucciole brings a touch of radiance. Its yellow gold rings set with diamonds are inspired by Italian fireflies, those tiny lights dancing in the night. A discreet yet recognizable signature, perfect worn alone or stacked with other pieces.
Rare Pieces: Victoria, Capri, and Beyond
Our selection also includes rarer creations, such as Victoria rings featuring black jet and crystal, or Capri necklaces in rose gold. Distinctive pieces that are often impossible to find elsewhere and represent the true charm of pre-owned Pomellato at Mad Lords.
The Gemstones That Define Pomellato
Pomellato elevated colored gemstones to the status of a true signature. Smoky quartz, amethyst, peridot, sapphire, topaz, lapis lazuli, jasper, tiger’s eye, black jet, and tourmaline create a palette that is as vibrant as it is joyful. At Mad Lords, we systematically document each gemstone, including its origin, cut, and any treatments, allowing you to choose not only a design but also a unique character.
The Art of Wearing Pomellato Jewelry
Pomellato is worn as a statement of individuality. Stacking Ritratto rings in different colors and sizes remains the Maison’s most recognizable signature. Pair a smoky quartz ring with a peridot, slip a M'ama non m'ama ring between them, or wear a yellow gold Catene bracelet on an already layered wrist. Pomellato’s aesthetic perfectly reflects the Mad Lords philosophy: mixing eras, embracing color, and rejecting conventional restraint.
