** New Pomellato thread**

[Aimee3]

I got the VC&A white MOP 10 motif necklace. I liked the look of the 10 motif and the 20 motif one worn together, but it was so expensive! LOL. My husband was not going to buy me both the 10 motif and the 20 motif
although I do see women wearing those almost every day!

Today, I decided I'd wear the Nudo rings on my left hand even though they were a little bit too loose, and I finally saw the PINK in the pink gold! That's because near a yellow gold watch, the pink comes out. When I wear the rings on my right hand, the watch is on my left hand and it's not noticeable that the golds are different! So, it's a good thing that I got them to wear on my right hand afterall.

TropicalGal, my husband doesn't know I have the Nudo rings. When we went to get the Victoria necklace, I called them to warm them not to say anything! Not too long ago, we were in Saks for him (we rarely shop together) and we were walking through the women's departments and several SA's greeted me by name and he was like "They know you too well. You spend way too much time/money here." It was like something out of a movie...I had my back to my husband and was mouthing and miming to the SA's that I'd call them later in the day and they could tell me whatever it was they wanted to show me without him!

^^^Well, the hub not knowing...that's a tough one. I am divorced, so I don't have that prob anymore. But still, to have to hide your interest or your purchases is a tough decision that somehow erodes your self esteem. I always bought my own jewelry anyway. Now the "problem" is I really must stop buying everything...because I see what I spend in terms of, "OMG, that could have been a vacation." My last foray into Pomellato cost me $8175. That's almost a semester's tuition...if you get my drift. I wear my Nudo rings on either hand. In Europe, wedding rings are worn on the right hand, so...these days anything goes. I think the Nudo rings are so powerfully chic. My Pomellato makes me feel powerful... I can be wearing jeans and a white shirt and with my Victoria necklace...I feel empowered. It is more than a look, it really is a feeling for the wearer. I never would have imagined that before. Anything you're interested in these days...?

TropicalGal, I just wanted to say that I've read your blogspot and I love it!!! I'm the mother of 4 and grandmother of 3, and a 4th arriving in September! And even though my kids are grown up (the youngest is 21) I love to read about motherhood and learn new tips!!! Well done!

Sorry, :back2topic:

I must check out the Victoria necklace, it sound gorgeous!

 

[TropicalGal]

^^^Thanks Duna! You are so sweet! Wow, you have a lovely family! Do feel free to leave comments on the blog and to pass along the web address to your friends. I'm trying to get it published...so need all the "hits" I can get.

Am loving my jewelry. Maybe if I sell "The Portable Mother" I'll be able to gift myself a piece of Pomellato! Now there's an idea!

Do let us know what you think of the Victoria necklaces!

I am writing to bump this thread. I am amazed there are so few Pomellato lovers on tpf. Goes to show how exclusive a brand we few ladies love! Most people have never heard of Pomellato...and those that do, well, we give each other knowing looks.

Hi all, I’ve enjoyed ‘listening in’ on the Pomellato talk. Congrats TropicalGal and Duna with your purchases- I can’t wait to see pics!

I would love to hear about the different ways you can wear the Victoria necklace. It sounds so versatile. And I'm intrigued by the possibility of wearing the large link with small link chain- that sounds lovely. What is the pricing like for the small link necklace? Is it featured on the Pomellato site? I don't think I've seen pics before...

 

[TropicalGal]

The Victoria necklace can be worn as a choker, as a "Y", or as a regular necklace. The small links cost more than the large links! The small links Victoria are about $5500, and the large links, before the price increase were in the $4800 range. The small Victoria links are on the website.

Thanks for the info! The Victoria's are beyond my price range for the moment I'm afraid, but I can dream... I’m trying to save up for a Luna ring (or perhaps a second Nudo!) but willl certainly go look at the necklaces in the boutique sometime. I love that you can create different looks with them.

I’m usually more into vintage costume jewelry than fine jewelry, but I just adore Pomellato. They strike just the right balance between fashion and timeless beauty...I also love to look at the old ad campaigns on the site all very lovely.

 

[TropicalGal]

I understand totally. I buy all my own jewelry (I'm divorced), and I usually buy it to mark a moment in my life. The large links I bought after I settled my Mother's estate. Instead of paying myself 20% for being the executor, I bought a necklace. Kept more $$ in the estate that way, and I was perfectly happy. The second Victoria I bought because it is my last fling of buying anything for myself before my kids go to college and all the $$ will go there for 6 years! So I wanted to look fab while being "broke" if you can understand my meaning! LOL That's my style of living!
But I think saving up is a great way to go.

I've finally managed to take pics of my rings!!! I'm afraid they're not very good pics, my son took them, and he's NOT a very good photographer, LOL, and what's more my hand looks awful, but never mind, I hope you like the rings!!!

Lovely Duna!!! I have the blue topaz and amethyst Nudos and love them.

 

[duna]

Thanks Lulilu! I forgot to name them, altough most of you already know!

The ones on the left are Nudo, in Amethyst, Lemon Quartz and blue topaz. The next one is the double "Sassi" Peridot, Acquamarine, and something else (can't remember, LOL) and the last one is the "Cipria" brushed pink gold with Amethyst!

 

[TropicalGal]

Thank you SO much for posting your pix, Duna. Your rings are gorgeous. Now you have made me think about some new styles... lol! How do you decide which ones you want to wear? How often do you switch? Which are your faves? Is the Sassi or Cipria heavy? Thanks!

Thanks TropicalGal! I just rotate them, really, without much thinking, LOL! To be honest, my favourite is the Eva ring with the snake, which is at the moment being fixed at Pomellato, so I couldn't take a pic (I will as soon as it gets back!) The Cipria is not heavy at all, while the Sassi is a bit heavier, since the back of the ring is thick solid gold. But they're all very comfortable, even the wide bands, once you get used to them!
