Picchiotti




Giuseppe Picchiotti made his first foray in the world of fine jewelry in 1967 when the Picchiotti atelier opened its doors in Valenza, Italy. Today he’s known the world over as the premier jeweler of Italy.

Picchiotti’s sophisticated and distinctive jewelry is created entirely in-house at the company’s manufacturing atelier, which allows for unparalleled excellence in the execution and quality assurance of every piece.

Alongside, with an open mind towards the challenging economical environment and an evolution in consumers’ needs and tastes, Picchiotti has been gradually introducing new lines inspired by modern and vibrant fashion, yet with an enduring style and a distinctive pattern. These collections include inventive design and novel setting and have been conceived to be worn as “everyday” accessory. They still reflect, by all means, Picchiotti’s usual standards of quality and craftsmanship, with all the attributes of fine jewelry.

As a result of this successful combination between classical and modern, important selections of the Picchiotti Collection can be found in the world’s most prestigious retailers and Guild Jewelers.

In the strongest Italian tradition, Picchiotti has always been a family enterprise, with Mr. Picchiotti joined by his wife and three children in creating timeless works of art with world-class craftsmanship.

the pomellato way






The well known Italian jewelry House with 40 years of history presents creative collections of various precious and semi-precious stones and gold of 750th hallmark. The jewelers of this luxury brand united refined elegancy and laconicism of the ancient forms in combination with new technologies. The result of it became jewelry for all seasons and times. All brand articles are so harmonically confectioned, as it pushes us to wear it not taking off. Pomellato Company exists over 30 years on the market. The workshop, opened on via dei Piatti in Milan in 1967, became the prototype of the modern boutique. 15 people worked there. Over time by virtue of high quality of production and commercial intuition of the managers the company has turned into one of the most famous and commercially successful jewelry brands Pomellato:every year it is sold over 50 thousand articles worldwide. Today in the Pomellato Company over 200 people are working. This beautiful name, very accurately describing the production's style is taken from the elegant horses' breeds. Pomellato style is easy to recognize — it’s svelte, original and laconic design, massive gold and gross multicolored semiprecious stones (tourmaline, aquamarine, ijolite, topaz, amethyst, garnet, peridot). Pomellato creates about 80 new models every year and the bestsellers of the previous years belong to so called «traditional collection». Pomellato is called a kind of pret-a-porter in the art of jewelry. The mark has filled a space existed between the exclusive jewelry of the famous jewelry houses and articles intended for the mass consumer. All Pomellato products are manufactured in series and are designed for everyday wear, however the traditional hand-made production and the highest quality articles make each ornament uniquely elegant. Pomellato shop offers high-quality hand-made jewelry. The highest craftsmanship level and impeccable quality characterize these decorations. Pomellato fully expresses the idea of pret-a-porter jewelry business: exclusive jewelry is created for every day. Pomellato has original and at the same time very simple design. All tints of gold with no shifts of polishing are used, not concealing the purity of gold's mat structure. The most varied forms and wonderful stones can be met here: diamond, aquamarine, agate, turquoise, topaz, coral, citrine, peridot.
