I'm not sure,just went back and had a good look?? But I'm sure a company with this quality of goods would be well produced and the stones very secure,but it would be interesting to know how its done though!!
I'd never heard of Pomellato before,but i looked at the nigelmilne site out of curiosity and WOW. What lovely jewlery. Thanks for giving me something new to obsess about.
Okay, next Pomellato question: which Pomellato ring would you pair with this Marianne Dulong necklace?
The pic does not do justice to the colour of the lemon quartz pebbles. They are greenish/ grayish/ smokish. Not very yellow at all. The necklace is slightly too long and my plan is to make earrings out of the extra pebbles. But I would also like to have a ring to go with it (my E-ring and wedding ring are platinum, I would probably use this new ring instead of them when wearing the necklace).
The Pomellato rings I have been eyeing are the very simple Nudo ring and the Baby ring (the lemon quartz versions), both models quite small, the Baby has some extra bling in the form of brown diamonds. So my question is are they too small (Pomellato has some bigger rings with brushed gold and lemon quartz but I don't like those models as much)? And has anyone seen them IRL, are they very yellow? One more ring is the Pin (up) ring which is quite big and blingy (and more expensive).
It won't be until May that I have the opportunity to visit a Pomellato store, and I will make the decision there, but any input before that is appreciated. It may well be that I decide to have something made, but the easy option would be to find something ready. TIA for your answers.
The colours are pretty realistic in the pics that Chaz has posted: I have the Nudo rings in lemon quartz and amethyst, I also received the blue quartz recently for my birthday, and I wear all three together. To answer your question, I think that both Nudo and Baby are rather small to be worn by themselves, but that's JMHO, I prefer them stacked. I also have the Cipria ring (the one with brushed rose gold and amethyst) which is , I think, the one you refer to as being a bigger ring: this one is pretty big and I didn't like it much either, until I tried it on, and I completely changed my mind about it: I'm totally in love!
Here is a pic of me wearing my 2 Nudo rings, it was taken before I got the third one; I'll have to take some new pics, but here goes:

Thank you Duna for your input, I appreciate it. If you have the time, could you please also post a picture of your Cipria. The Nudos look so cool stacked. Can they be worn with gloves (it's an issue for me since I wear gloves 7 months a year)?
As for choosing my ring(s), I think I just have to see them all IRL and definitely take the necklace along. Do you know whether all Pomellato boutiques have pretty much the same stock? I'm planning to visit the Madrid store, and maybe I could contact them in advance to ask about the styles I'm interested in.

^^^ No problem! I'll take pics asap.... Stores usually have all the stock in, but it can happen that they've just run out of a specific style, or size; phoning before you go can help, although I'm not sure about sizes. As for gloves, I do have problems when I wear my Nudo rings; I also wear gloves almost the whole winter, so that's a bit of an issue....
I have a set of Nudo earrings and ring. If you notice there are no claws holding the stones. They are fastened with jewellery glue. No kidding! I dropped one of the earrings on a hard floor and the stone popped out. Fortunately you can take it back to the shop and they will send it to Italy for repair. Came back a few months later good as new.
Ladies: I just ordered a second Nudo ring in Amethyst because the prices are going up on Feb. 1 !!! (My first Nudo is the Lemon Quartz.) The Nudo will go up from $1600 US dollars, to $1760. So if you are thinking of any Pomellato purchases...NOW's the time!
Chaz! I didn't know you were a Pomellato gal!!! I have a lovely Victoria large oval necklace too.
Duna! I will have the same two rings as you have in your foto. I'm so excited. Thanks for being such a great model. I decided on these two colors from the very beginning when I was in the Pomellato store in Manhattan. So your foto has always been my inspiration.

Regarding the question on stock in the Pomellato stores. It is different in each store. However, they can order from Milan whatever you want that they don't have. As you know, I live in the tropics...and only get to Manhattan twice a year. I go to Pomellato on Madison Ave. Mind you, this isn't a regular thing! Because it is SOOOO expensive. But I have friends who buy, so I accompany them. The Pomellato store look is to not have much jewelry on display. You sit down at a desk, and you tell them what you are interested in, and they bring pieces out to show you. It is not like going into Tiffany's and looking at the glass cases. This makes it much more personal and precious. However...it would be nice just to see the goods, before you get involved with an SA -- who are all VERY skinny, young and wear black, and lots of Pomellato jewelry.
Reviving this thread. When I go to Manhattan in late April, I'm going to choose a small gold link necklace, and the black tiger tooth charm, and pick up my Nudo ring.
Anyone else with Pomellato news?

I was just at the Mad Ave store this week. I tried on a 3rd Nudo, but was undecided as to whether I can comfortably wear 3. So I tried on the diamond stacking rings -- the ones that come in different color golds with 1-12 diamonds. Am really loving them and think I will order some instead of a 3rd Nudo (or at least before I get another Nudo). Such a great store. They are very nice.
