Luckily, their catalogue is on the internet so you can at least have an idea of what you want before you go in. At least I'm hoping everything is in that catalogue!!! You are right about needing a ginormous pendant for the big link necklace, which might be why they show it with 2 "tooth" pendants. I still can't figure out how they attached them though. (it's in the picture on the website). Anyway, I was thinking maybe one of those starfish pendants "Sirene" but they are costly and somehow not something you could wear everyday. I tried one on and it didn't wow me although I absolutely was in love with it in the catalogue. Did you ever try the earrings? I was wondering if they are heavy, but of course that's relative to ones ears, and mine can't take any weight whatsoever. I'm in the US but as my avatar shows, "I'd rather be in Paris" :woohoo:I'll definitely post when I get in there, even if I walk out empty handed.

I did try on the Harem charm -- it is the ball, like a disco ball, filled with gems -- quartz or rodalite. I like it on other people, and I think it is a gorgeous looking charm, but it just wasn't me. I was disappointed it wasn't me...because I like it, but it just didn't look good on me.

The Starfish pendant is gorgeous but tres tres expensive. I've never tried on the earrings...because they seem heavy to me. But maybe they're not...I just don't know. Maybe if I ever buy anything again, I might look at the earrings. I think my budget is basically shot at this point. I have two kids going to college. So I think in terms of airplane tickets, etc. I also want to wear what I have. This stuff is too expensive to have it sit around. Luckily, my daughter loves it and she is aware of its great design and pricetag...so will be happy to own it one day.

The small Victoria has a different engineering than the large links. When you go in, take a look at the small necklace and try it with your big links to see the look. On the small links, they have an open link on each side, so you can put two charms. I actually do wear two charms. I wear the black tooth and also a gold charm my Mother picked up in Paris, by a Japanese designer. You can link the necklace in so many different ways. It feels longer than the large link necklace. Can't wait to hear about your visit.

I've got some updating to do aswell!! Actually I've still got to post pics of my third Nudo (the blue one) and my Cipria Amethyst ring. My DH recently gave me a Sassi ring (the double one with blue/green stones) and I bought myself (yikes!) the Eva ring :not the one with the Cameo, the wide brushed pink gold band, with the snake made of brown diamonds...I've sent it to Pomellato 'cos it has a slight problem, so it won't be back for a couple of months:crybaby:I think this ring is my favourite, of the ones I have, I just ADORE it! I promise I'll take pics of them all ASAP!

As for the new Nudo rings, I've seen the pink/mauve one and the pale bluey/green one (sorry, I don't remember the names of the stones) I like them a lot, they're not too summery IMO, you can easily wear them all year round.

Duna, you must must post pix! Can't wait to see. So, I have the same combo as you: the lemon quartz and the amethyst.

I don't know if I would ever buy more Pomellato now... I have two necklaces and a charm...and two Nudo rings. I have thick wrists and don't wear bracelets.

Anyone have any of the earrings? Are they heavy? Have you ever tried any on? I find the website so frustrating...with the little bits and bobs that they show.

Thanks everybody, esp. TropicalGal, for keeping this thread alive. The new stuff on the site is amazing, I only found out about it through this thread. A lot of it made my mouth water. The novelties in the Victoria range were beautiful, and I loved the new colours in Nudo. Also, the blackened gold rings w brown diamonds were to my taste (is there really anything one wouldn't take if offered from the range..?).

I'll be visiting a store in two weeks time, can't wait to see everything IRL:yahoo:!!Duna, pls. post your Eva ring, it is not featured on the site..? It sounds beautiful.

I also have a pair of Nudo earings, they were my very first Pomellato acquisition: I have to say that in the beguinning, I didn't wear them much b/c the hook that goes into the ear is rather thick, and I couldn't wear them for more than a few hours 'cos they hurst.....but, I've since discovered that the reason for this was that, at the time, I didn't wear earings very much, so my ears were a bit tender. Now, since a year or so, I've started to wear earings again, and I can now use my Nudo earings without any problem at all! I've just regretted that, when I bought them (about 4 years ago) I thought it would be fun to buy them one different from the other (one is amethyst and the other lemon quarz) now I wish I had bought them both Amethyst.......I'll have to buy another Amethyst one, some day; it's lucky you can buy them one at a time, at least here in Italy!

I don't know why the Eva ring that I have isn't on the website; I will certainly take pics of it, but we'll have to wait for it to come back from Pomellato, since I sent it in about 10 days ago....

So how much were the Nudo earrings...way back when? Nudo rings went up from 1600 usd to 1760. I find that as I get older...I'm wearing less jewelry...so I'm not interested in collecting personally. But I will accept as gifts! I am following the Oprah thing about visualizing what you want and getting it! LOL As I said, I'm happily divorced...and not looking to marry ever again...but wouldn't mind a companion who loved buying me jewelry. LOL. But serious too! My goal right now is to get my kids through college...so I think my Pomellato days are over for awhile...and to travel. But I do want to hear about your purchases and what you try on...because...you never know. Maybe my blog will get published and I'll have to buy myself a publishing present!

Sorry to not have posted/answered sooner, but when I tried the site was down for emergency maintenance (TPF).
The Harem charms were different from what I expected when I first saw them, and you definitely would need 2, plus I don't think they would look nice with the big links Victoria. Lately, I've been having second thoughts on having bought the big links over the smaller linked Victoria. However, at the time (and I did try on both, but separately!) I thought the larger link one was more unusual and unique. However, I think you can probably do more looks with the smaller link one, and certainly dangle a wider variety of charms from the smaller link one.
Putting 2 kids at the same time thru college is definitely quite a ton of money but if you wear your Pomellato when you visit them you will surely be admired, which can't hurt!;)
I'd love to see the Eva with brown diamonds as well. I hope they don't take forever to fix it for you!

Hope everyone had a happy mother's day!

TropicalGal, I can't remember exactly how much the earings cost, but I vaguely remember they were around 1000 euros each, now they're about 1180 euros (again, I can't remember exactly), so they haven't gone up enormously! I'm pretty sure that one Nudo earing has the same price as one ring......

I searched the Internet yesterday for a pic of the Eva gold and diamond ring, and I found NOTHING:wtf: which is rather amazing....I have a pic in an old catalogue (2006) but I have no way of posting it....

Aimee -- I was feeling the same way you were about the large link Victoria. When I first went in to look at Pomellato necklaces, the small links seemed too small. I wanted more of a statement piece. The large link Victoria is both a statement piece for dress up, but also, casual enough to wear daily. But then I realized I wanted a "traveling" necklace...because I didn't feel comfortable traveling with the large links. I didn't think I would buy the small links, because I thought I would get something different. But then, it just seemed perfect to go along with the large links I already owned. And now, it has given new life to the large links. Because again, I can wear them both for casual, or for dress up. But to my surprise, I'm finding I'm loving the small links even more. Without a charm, with one or two charms. It's all working for me. So I totally understand you.

By the way, I do think just one Harem charm works...to dangle at the end. Or in the middle of the necklace depending on where you hook it. I've seen necklaces with one Harem. Also, you can mix and match your charms -- don't need two of the same thing. Pomellato is just so d*** expensive that it really hurts to make a purchase mistake. That's why you should take your time and not get obsessed.

Well, I finally got to see some of the new Pomellato pieces but for maybe only a minute. (I was rushing thru Bergdorfs but carrying a huge heavy bag plus my handbag, I was overheated, but I didn't want to go home, drop my stuff and go back out, even though I had planned to go to the boutique later in the day.) So, I was relieved to see that Bergdorfs had two small cases of Pomellato, so I tried on the new pale green nudo and the pale amethyst (called Rose de France) and realized that while I like those colors, they do nothing for my fingers since they almost blend into my skin color. I prefer a more saturated stone. So, I can cross those off my list...however those of you with tan hands will probably love them! I didn't try anything else on only because my daughter was with me and I had just gotten VC&A for Mother's Day, so I didn't need to hear "how many necklaces do you have?" kind of thing, KWIM? I did see the small link Victoria and it looked beautiful. They had the new white carved ivory pendant (I think that's what it is) but it didn't appeal to me in the case. The serpent is starting to grow on me, but they showed it with the small link Victoria, so I'm not sure how it looks on the large link one. I didn't see any Harem charms. TropicalGal, did you mean you've seen one Harem charm on the large or small link Victoria? I guess I will still have to make the trip to the boutique to check out the necklaces in more detail, but I'll have to go solo! :yes:

Hi, I loved living vicariously your dash through Bergdorf's!!! With daugher in tow. What VC&A did you get for Mother's Day? You have a generous hub! I tried the Harem ball with the small link Victoria. It just wasn't "me." But I love it. I must say, I'm wearing my small link Victoria every day. I thought I would wear the large one every day...but no...it is the small one. I hope I don't tire of the black tooth Jet charm... So hard for me to justify spending on Pomellato right now...because I'm recently divorced and sending a kit to college on my own. So, must take care of priorities. But at least I'll look and FEEL chic when I deliver my kid to college and pay the bills! I won't "feel" poor! If you know what I mean!
When you go to the Pomellato boutique, tell Josephine, the manager, that you are a friend of Elizabeth -- that's me!
