Joy Always Comes in Colour - Celebrating 25 Years of Pomellato Nudo

Pomellato has long understood something that transcends trends: colour is more than adornment — it is emotion, personality, confidence, and joy. This philosophy shines brilliantly once again with the unveiling of The Colors of Joy campaign, celebrating 25 radiant years of one of the maison’s most iconic creations — the Nudo collection.

For a quarter of a century, Nudo has represented a new kind of luxury. Effortless yet refined, playful yet elegant, bold yet timeless. Now, as Pomellato marks this milestone anniversary, the collection returns to centre stage in a campaign that captures the spirit of modern femininity through luminous gemstones, vibrant colour, and unmistakable Italian craftsmanship.

At the heart of the celebration is the belief that joy always comes in colour.

A Jewel That Changed Fine Jewellery

When Pomellato first introduced Nudo in 2001, it challenged the conventions of traditional gemstone jewellery. Instead of elaborate, heavy settings, the maison embraced simplicity — allowing the gemstone itself to become the protagonist.

The result was revolutionary.

The signature Nudo cut, entirely unique to Pomellato, features a softly rounded, naked gemstone with 57 asymmetrical facets designed to maximise colour, light, and brilliance. Free from visible claws or traditional mounting, the stone appears to float effortlessly above the finger, creating an unmistakably modern silhouette.

Minimal yet expressive, the design transformed the way coloured gemstones were worn. Suddenly, fine jewellery felt lighter, more versatile, and deeply personal.

Today, the Nudo ring remains one of the most recognisable contemporary jewellery designs in the world — a true icon of Italian luxury.

The Beauty of the Classic Nudo Ring

At the centre of the collection sits the classic Nudo ring — elegant in its simplicity and endlessly wearable.

Defined by its smooth pebble-like silhouette and vibrant gemstone palette, the ring is designed to celebrate individuality. Whether worn as a subtle everyday piece or layered into a bold statement stack, Nudo captures light and colour in a way few designs can.

Each gemstone is carefully selected not only for its quality but for its emotional resonance. From the cool serenity of sky blue topaz to the deep mystery of London blue topaz, the soft romance of rose quartz, or the vivid energy of prasiolite and amethyst, every hue tells its own story.

The clean lines of the ring allow the colour to take centre stage, while the refined proportions make it effortlessly versatile — equally at home with casual daytime styling or elevated evening dressing.

It is jewellery designed not simply to be admired, but to be lived in.

The Art of Stacking Colour

One of the defining features of the Nudo collection is its extraordinary stackability.

Pomellato encourages wearers to create their own combinations — layering colours, textures, sizes, and diamond accents to reflect mood and personality. The result is deeply individual styling that feels curated rather than prescribed.

Stacking Nudo rings allows colour to become expressive and dynamic. Soft pastel tones can be paired for understated elegance, while vivid gemstone combinations create a striking contemporary look. Mixing rose gold and white gold variations introduces further depth and sophistication.

The beauty of stacking lies in its freedom. There are no rules — only emotion, intuition, and personal style.

Some choose to build a monochromatic stack around shades of blue topaz, while others embrace vibrant contrasts of green prasiolite, pink quartz, and sparkling diamond pavé. The collection invites creativity, transforming fine jewellery into a form of self-expression.

Exploring the Nudo Variations

Over 25 years, the Nudo collection has evolved into an entire universe of colour and design, offering multiple interpretations of the iconic silhouette.

Nudo Classic

The original and most recognisable design, the classic Nudo ring features a generously proportioned gemstone set atop a sleek gold band. Bold yet refined, it remains the ultimate expression of Pomellato’s contemporary elegance.

Nudo Petit / Petite

For those drawn to a more delicate aesthetic, the Nudo Petite variation offers a smaller interpretation of the classic silhouette. Perfect for layering or everyday wear, the petite size maintains all the brilliance and colour of the original while delivering a softer, more understated look.

These smaller-scale rings are particularly beloved for stacking, allowing wearers to mix multiple gemstone colours effortlessly across the hand.

Nudo Diamond Band

Adding further luminosity to the collection, the Nudo diamond band introduces pavé-set diamonds along the band or surrounding the central gemstone. The subtle sparkle enhances the vibrancy of the coloured stones while elevating the ring into an even more luxurious statement.

The interplay between diamonds and coloured gems creates a beautiful balance between glamour and modernity — unmistakably Pomellato.

Nudo Toi et Moi & High Jewellery Variations

Over the years, the collection has expanded into more artistic interpretations, including double-stone designs, asymmetrical settings, and exceptional high jewellery creations featuring rare gemstones and intricate craftsmanship.

These designs retain the unmistakable Nudo DNA while exploring new dimensions of colour, scale, and creativity.

The Emotional Language of Colour

Perhaps the enduring magic of Nudo lies in the emotional connection people form with colour itself.

Jewellery often commemorates milestones, memories, and personal identity. With Nudo, colour becomes part of that storytelling. A gemstone chosen for a birthday, a celebration, a journey, or simply a feeling becomes deeply meaningful over time.

This emotional aspect is exactly what The Colors of Joy campaign celebrates.

Not simply the beauty of gemstones, but the joy they evoke when worn. The confidence of vibrant colour. The optimism of light. The individuality of self-expression.

In a world that often feels monochrome, Nudo reminds us to embrace colour boldly and unapologetically.

Italian Craftsmanship Meets Contemporary Luxury

Every Nudo piece reflects Pomellato’s dedication to exceptional Italian craftsmanship. Each gemstone is hand-cut to achieve the maison’s signature irregular faceting, requiring extraordinary precision and expertise.

The fluidity of the settings, the softness of the goldwork, and the balance of proportions all contribute to the tactile beauty of the collection. These are jewels designed to feel as luxurious as they appear.

It is this combination of artistry, wearability, and innovation that has allowed Nudo to remain relevant for 25 years — transcending trends while continually evolving with modern style.

Celebrating 25 Years of Joy

As Pomellato celebrates the 25th anniversary of Nudo through The Colors of Joy, the collection stands not only as an icon of design, but as a symbol of individuality, emotion, and contemporary femininity.

More than a ring, Nudo is a feeling.

A flash of colour catching the light.
A stack of gemstones layered with meaning.
A jewel worn every day and treasured forever.

For twenty-five years, Nudo has reminded the world that luxury does not need to shout to make a statement. Sometimes, the most powerful expressions come through colour, light, and simplicity.

And as this new chapter begins, one message shines brighter than ever:

Joy always comes in colour.
