In Diamonds, Brown Is 'Much More Mysterious'

Feb 10, 2020.Brown diamonds are much more mysterious than white ones, said Vincenzo Castaldo, the creative director at the Italian jewelry house Pomellato A brown diamond gets its color from inclusions - internal imperfections caused by stress during the diamond's formation.

Nuvola, conceived as Pomellato's alternative to a white solitaire, is introducing the brown gems as the main attraction: a central stone surrounded by smaller brilliant-cut stones The collection features a ring design with three sizes for the central stone: a half carat, one carat and one and a half carats "Brown diamonds are totally aligned with our work, DNA.

and aesthetic codes We are a bit unconventional." Rather than the classic solitaire prong setting, Nuvola has a nimbus of pavé diamonds around the central stone, producing a balance of gold to stone in the circular design Each Nuvola jewel is made with Fairmined gold and diamonds bought from members of the Responsible Jewellery Council, a nonprofit industry organization based in Britain - a practice that Pomellato and its parent, the French luxury company Kering, see as in keeping with their commitment to sustainability and ethical practices.
