Latest Vintage Piece
Pomellato M’ama garnet earrings 3.50ct. tw., 3.8 grams, 18 karat gold. $1,500.00 CAD. 211-00266
We’ve only ever had one other piece of Pomellato jewellery pass through our estate department before; as soon as we saw this pair of earrings we knew they would be our second. The Pomellato style is unmistakably organic, smooth and flowing as if formed by nature. Polished and faceted cabochons using colourful natural gems are mainstay design elements for most Pomellato creations. You don’t see many of the traditional gems like sapphire, emerald, and ruby; instead they focus on unusual hues of quartz, topaz, tourmaline, garnet, peridot, and malachite. Established in Milan Italy in 1967; so it comes as no surprise their style continues the tradition of excellence coming from one of the world’s great design centres. Our compact little earrings are part of the M’ama collection from the early part of the 21st century. They are only around 14mm in height but weigh a stout 3.8 grams.
Naturally they have been handcrafted from rich 18 karat yellow gold. Each earring contains a perfectly polished pinkish purple rhodolite garnet of exceptional quality. Each garnet measures 6.5mm diameter and is estimated to weight 1.75 carats. The high refractive index of garnet and the tall dome profile of the cabochon cut gives these stones an optical effect similar to a powerful optical lens.
Each earring is secured with a tight spring loaded signed hinge that closes over a wire post that is perfectly integrated into the earring body.
Pomellato retired this design a few years ago but the unique style still looks great today. The Pomellato brand is definitely worth having a look at if you love extraordinary design and skillfully handcrafted jewellery. From what information we can gather about these garnet M’ama earrings we feel they cost around $2,400.00 USD before they were retired. Our estate pair are in perfect condition, showing no wear of any kind. They are estate priced at $1,500.0 CAD. Stock #211-00266.
