Pomellato’s Asimmetrico necklace from Collezione 1967 centres on a rare tanzanite of 55.96 carats, cut in an unconventional irregular shape that serves the stone’s deepest purpose: to amplify its violet and blue tones, those extraordinary depths that make tanzanite so captivating. The custom cut is deliberate in its asymmetry, engineered so the facets catch light from unexpected angles, revealing colour zoning and dimensional complexity that a more traditional cut would subdue.
Surrounding the tanzanite, 78 plates of diamond pavé gold form a flowing matrix. This is jewellery that understands movement and skin; the plates are constructed to cascade with a suppleness reminiscent of fabric, conferring both precision and fluidity. The asymmetric geometry of the stone finds its counterpoint in the structured yet graceful architecture of the gold setting, each element in conversation with the other. The diamonds, pavé set across the gold plates, catch light with quiet insistence, creating a subtle shimmer that frames rather than competes with the gemstone’s violet blue dialogue.
Collezione 1967 draws from Pomellato’s heritage, a moment when the Italian house refined its approach to colour and unconventional form. This necklace exemplifies that vision: a piece that respects the stone’s rarity whilst allowing it to perform its chromatic range without ornamental distraction. Available through Seddiqi.
