Silver lining: Pomellato’s sustainably-sourced Nuvola

Pomellato consistently does things its own way since it could. Launched in 1967, this Milanese jeweller has made its mark with powerful, individual designs which has made it a loyal following. When Pomellato turned its head to producing the Nuvola diamond game series, the most classic of jewels, it did it in its own very unique way. The Nuvola, that’s the Italian for cloud, is a organically-shaped, assymetric layout that enjoy a bloated cumulus nimbus, shrouds that a sunburst of diamonds at billowing curves of increased gold. And what is more it’s squeaky clean and green and produced from Fairmined diamonds and gold from RJC accredited suppliers.

Inspired by the trendy girls of Italy and their daring elegance, the Nuvola shuns the standard claw putting in favour of enclosing the central match using a swirl of diamonds. This halo of pearl pavé not just generates the impact of a bigger central rock, but in addition, it refracts light in the countless distinct aspects for a really heavenly cascade of lighting.

While a few, like me, might believe the Nuvola would create an perfect engagement ring for a few looking for an alternative to the omnipresent solitaire, these earrings are versatile enough to wear as a regular one-piece ring or to grow your rainbow pile of Nudo rings. The collection also has stud earrings and a ring with 0.5-carat diamonds.

Pomellato likes to keep things simple and to prevent the uncertainty within the purchase price of diamond solitaires, the Nuvola increased gold gemstone rings provide just three diamond dimensions. The 1.0 and 1.5-carat rings can be found in two diamond color choices from G to H and also in either VS1 or VS2 clarity and costs vary from 6,900 to 40,200 euros.

But should you’ve got a particular request, Pomellato will make a Nuvola to you with almost any size diamond. Special commissions have included a 2.5 carat gem of excellent quality in addition to a cherry juice glowing spinel of uncommon beauty playing into the home’s power in sourcing the most beautiful color diamonds (under ).


But that’s just half the story. Pomellato is a portion of this Kering Group which is demonstrating a strong commitment to ethical and sustainability practices. About the 31st October this year, team head François-Henri Pinault obtained the WWD Honour for Corporate Citizenship among a number of other recognitions of this group’s dedication to doing the ideal thing. And now Pomellato is a pioneer in Kering’s initiative as Nuvola is completely made from Fairmined diamonds and gold out of RJC members, which makes the stones as sustainable as it’s now possible. Pomellato says that it’…creates unconventional and vibrant jewellery produced in ways which honor the work of women and men, and encourage and protect craftsmanship whilst utilizing valuable and advanced materials sourced ‘

By complying to the Fairmined criteria, the employees get a premium for their own gold that has to be utilized to finance social growth for themselves and their families in addition to environmental security. Additionally, it can help improve safety and conditions at the mine and also guarantees no child-labour can be used. Thus far just eight mines on earth are licensed within this pioneering initiative to make sure a number of the weakest miners from the world, working in often dangerous circumstances, get protection and a reasonable damages.

Every Nuvola gem is stamped using the Fairmined signature and features a Fairmined’passport of source’ promising full traceability from mine into closing completed gem. Like most of its collections, Pomellato made this limited edition collection completely in house in its 100-jeweller strong workshop. Isolating the Fairmined gold has been possible as the company makes its gold alloys and each and every step of this procedure from ingot of gold into polished and completed stone is created in its own workshop in Milan.

What is more the diamonds have been sourced from accredited members of the RJC (Responsible Jewellery Council) a nonprofit, independent body helping to ensure the transparency of the diamond supply chain, encouraging ethical practices, human rights, environmental protection and decent management practices. The diamonds also include a GIA (Gemological Institute of America) certification for cut, clarity, color and carats along with the certification number is engraved on the rear of every gem.

Therefore, if you’re considering purchasing a diamond stone, then be certain it is one which shines its light onto a brighter future for our world and humanity.
