I love this ring, congrats! I also love the Sabbia earings, the small ones.....Yikes, and I live 50 metres from a Pomellato store: you don't know the torture every time I pass it, lol!!
I've had this ring for a very long time and I wear it almost daily. Cost per wear has really worked out on this piece.
blimey...! what a beauty....
congratulations alundpr!!
girls, please, please, please post more pics. i can't bring myself to go to Pomm boutique as the temptation is too great and the resources is non-existent at the moment!
Hello fellow Pomellato enthusiasts! This is my first posting on this thread and I have really enjoyed reading your posts and looking at your beautiful jewelry.
I do have a question for those of you have bought Nudos. I recently bought a classic London Blue Topaz Nudo ring at an authorized retailer and loved it so much that I bought a used Maxi version of the same ring from Ebay Italy. This ring is the exact same as mine in every way but I notice that the Pomellato stamp looks lasered instead of stamped like mine. My stamp is deeper and has an artisanal feel. All the other markings are there, the gold is the same rose gold, cut of the stone is just as beautiful, and the setting is the same. It also has that little dot on one of the sides of the setting that helps keep the stone in place. When I am in the sun, both glow beautifully in the same shade of blue, with the Maxi being richer in blue! At the same time, I am curious about the lasered stamp and am curious whether anyone who has bought in the past or who is from Italy might be able to shed some light on this! I wouldn't think this level of detail could be replicated but I guess one really never knows. Regardless, my ring is beautiful and I am enjoying it!
I can post pictures if anyone is interested! I look forward to hearing from you!

Just an update on my repair... I took it into the shop in January. I was told they were going to send it to NY for evaluation and then, within a week, let me know what it needs, what it would cost, and I could decide how to move forward. After not hearing from them in three weeks, I called and found out it had been shipped to Italy. If there was a charge on the repair, they'd cover it since they didn't inform me it had been sent off. It's now been over 3 months since I originally dropped it off and I still don't have it.
I need to send my Lucciole off to have the prongs redone on a few of the diamonds. I wear it as my wedding band and hate that I'll be without it for that long.

Thank you so much for responding Lulilu. Here are some pictures that I think show off the detail of the ring. I am happy to provide more if you tell me specifically what you are looking for. It is also hard to capture the true color of the ring because it always has a different shade of blue in different lights. In the picture, it shows green but I rarely see this hue when I wear it. The first picture is the most accurate color. Anyway, I hope this helps. Thank you so much!
p.s. I apologize in advance for the upside down pictures. I do not seem to be able to rotate the pictures or at least have not been able to figure that out so if anyone knows, please tell me how. Thanks!

That is incredible annoying that the sent it off without letting you know! I don't have experience with Pomellato in particular, but I have had other luxury brand goods sent back to Europe for repair and all of them took an extremely long time (one almost a year).
I have the same rings as you - a London blue topaz Maxi (purchased in the US) and a blue topaz in the original size (purchased in Italy). The photos are a little blurry, but you're right, the stamp on the maxi doesn't look as "heavy." On my rings they look the same.
I would just die!!Thank you for your comment YellowLabKiss. That was very helpful. My classic is actually also a London Blue Topaz but I think the flash makes it lighter...or maybe my stone is just lighter. I am only confident because I also tried on a blue topaz at the same time when choosing the color. It was such a difficult decision! It is difficult to get a finer close up but I will try to do so. I think for peace of mind, I am going to get a jewelry appraisal from my authorized Pomellato retailer who is also a fine jewelry retailer. I don't know if they authenticate jewelry but just getting a value will give me peace of mind. I am quite happy with the piece anyway because it is EXACTLY the same as mine and is beautiful.
I also want to add that it is best to try on first when choosing between the petit, classic or maxi since the setting takes up part of the circumference. The bigger the stone, the more your circumference is taken up and the snugger it is. I also had to size up from my usual ring size for this reason. Both of my rings are the same size but the maxi is personally a better fit since my classic is slightly lose during the winter so it makes me feel more secure to wear the tighter one on the outside.
Update: I just came back from the jeweler and they cannot appraise name brand items. They would have to send to Pomellato New York and that would take up to 10 weeks! At this point, I will hang on to it or just go myself next time that I am in New York.
