Pomellato CEO: Sabina Belli – Savoir-Vivre, Modern Femininity, & The Importance of Authentic Craftsmanship In Luxury Goods

The Gstaad Guy sits down with Sabina Belli, CEO of Pomellato, to explore how she transformed one of Italy’s most distinctive maisons into a modern emblem of everyday luxury. With a philosophy rooted in savoir vivre, Milanese elegance, and a deep tribute to women, Sabina reflects on how Pomellato revolutionised prêt-à-porter jewellery and redefined how women wear, express, and empower themselves. The conversation dives into the art of preserving and promoting craftsmanship, the difference between archetypes and personas in storytelling, and what truly defines “The Pomellato Woman.” Sabina opens up about the brand’s values of kindness, generosity, and authenticity, and how gifting, to oneself or to others, carries emotional meaning far beyond ornament. She also discusses navigating healthy versus unhealthy relationships, both personally and professionally, and why jewellery often becomes a symbol of self-respect, resilience, and love.
