This Italian jeweler is at the heart of a free, one-off exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo

Gleaming stones, chains that have become iconic, and a distinctly modern vision of jewelry: with The Revolutionary Jeweler, Pomellato traces nearly six decades of design at the Palais de Tokyo. This free, reservation-only exhibition, running from June 24 to July 20, 2026, revisits the Milanese house’s history through its emblematic pieces, striking imagery, and its unique approach to contemporary jewelry.

Behind the display cases, far more than a simple sequence of bijoux. The path unfolds a narrative where innovation is worn on the skin. It centers on several "revolutions": style, know-how, color, image, and the place of women. In the background, the entire evolution of a jewelry-making that is freer, livelier, and liberated from mere grand occasions comes to light.

Historic creations and contemporary pieces reveal what makes Pomellato's DNA: iconic chains, sculptural volumes crafted to move with the wearer, and stones in indulgent hues. The house has notably championed a freer approach to gemstones, betting on expressive tones, bold contrasts, and generous shapes.

But the exhibition goes beyond making gold and precious stones shine. It also foregrounds the conversation between the brand and the fashion photography through a selection of iconic shots by Gian Paolo Barbieri, Helmut Newton, Herb Ritts, Snowdon, and Michel Comte. Images that recount a moment in time as much as a specific aesthetic, bearing witness to the gradual shift of jewelry into a true fashion and storytelling object.

Throughout the tour, another commitment close to the house’s heart comes into view: its relationship with women. A theme explored not only in the works on display but also through the Pomellato for Women initiative, launched in 2017 to advance equality, independence, and the fight against violence toward women. The effort resonates with the values the brand has championed since its early days.

Between iconic jewels, legendary photographs, and a heritage that keeps reinventing itself, Pomellato, The Revolutionary Jeweler offers a multi-faceted portrait of the Italian house. An exhibition that, beyond the retrospective, shows how the brand, in its own way, helped define its era.
