Contemporary Jewelry
CONTEMPORARY STYLE
Contemporary jewelry is inextricably linked with the moment in which it is created, frequently reflecting current social, cultural and political issues such as environmental consciousness, identity and sustainability. It’s informed by fashion trends, from the chokers of the 1990s to the large chain necklaces of the early 2000s.
Jewelry is one of the oldest forms of adornment. Lockets made of silver or gold have been treasured gifts for hundreds of years, for example, and charm bracelets, which have existed since prehistoric times, didn’t become especially popular until the 19th-century reign of Queen Victoria. For many centuries, fine jewelry was used primarily to express wealth or status through lavish materials. Then, in the 1960s, a concept known as the “critique of preciousness” emerged, with jewelers creating pieces that did not get their value from gemstones or precious metals. Instead, it was the jeweler’s artistic vision that was prized and elevated.
This shift still informs Contemporary jewelry being made by artists today. Whether they are using cheap, found materials and working with provocative geometric shapes or seeking out the rarest stones, they are imbuing their work with meaning through their skills, techniques and ideas. Innovative designers such as Elsa Peretti, who popularized sculptural sterling-silver jewelry for Tiffany & Co., and David Yurman, who twisted metal into the simple yet striking Cable bracelet, have also influenced the direction of Contemporary jewelry’s forms and aesthetics.
Meanwhile, technological advancements like metal alloys and laser engraving have led to new possibilities in jewelry design. Now, edgy makers and brands as well as minimalist designers are pushing Contemporary jewelry forward into the 21st century.

Synonymous with creativity and character in the international panorama of jewelry, the Pomellato brand was born in 1967 resulting from the intuition of its founder, Pino Rabolini. Heir to a family of goldsmiths, Rabolini was the first to introduce the philosophy of ready-to-wear in the world of jewelry by giving the brand a strong distinctive identity that allows it to quickly establish itself on the Italian market then in the rest of the world, to finally become the fifth jeweler in Europe and one of the key players in the entire industry at the international level.
The Pomellato brand stands out for its precision work on colored stones and its way of managing the image of its brand. Its creator is surrounded by the greatest artists and glorifies his jewelry with the help of the greatest photographers of art and fashion ever known.
