Pomellato Sabbia Jewelry
The Sabbia asks what happens when you cover every surface of 18K gold in diamonds — not one significant stone, but thousands of small ones working together. The answer is a kind of brilliance that is specifically Italian: rich, warm, and completely without restraint.
Pre-Owned Pomellato Sabbia Jewelry
The Sabbia — Italian for "sand" — is Pomellato's diamond collection, and its most formally luxurious expression. Where the Nudo celebrates the individual colored stone and the Iconica celebrates gold itself, the Sabbia celebrates the collective brilliance of diamonds: thousands of brilliant-cut stones pavé-set across the surface of 18K yellow gold in a continuous field that suggests, as the name implies, a surface of sparkling sand. The warmth of Pomellato's characteristic yellow gold beneath the diamond pavé gives the Sabbia a richness entirely distinct from the cooler diamond jewelry of the great formal houses — something warmer, more Italian, more immediately pleasurable.
With Sabbia pieces in our inventory spanning rings, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, and cross designs, our collection represents the full range of this celebrated collection. Every piece individually authenticated before listing, offered at meaningful discounts to current boutique retail, backed by our full money-back authenticity guarantee and free domestic shipping.
The Sabbia Design
The Concept
The Sabbia's design concept is simple and brilliant: cover every surface of the 18K yellow gold with pavé-set brilliant-cut diamonds, creating a field of sparkle so continuous that individual stones become indistinguishable from the whole. The name "sand" captures the visual effect precisely — not individual diamonds but an undifferentiated surface of light, each stone reflecting into its neighbors in a way that creates more brilliance than any individual stone of equivalent total weight could produce alone. The warmth of the yellow gold base gives the diamond field a richness and depth that white gold or platinum would not provide — specifically Pomellato, specifically Italian.
Sabbia Rings
The Sabbia ring is the collection's most actively traded design — a band or cluster ring in 18K yellow gold with continuous diamond pavé across its surface, worn on the finger as a field of brilliance that catches light from every angle. The ring's warmth of the yellow gold beneath the diamonds gives the Sabbia ring a character entirely distinct from white-metal diamond rings: richer, more immediately Italian, and more rewarding to wear in direct sunlight where the gold's warmth intensifies the diamond brilliance above it.
Sabbia Earrings and Necklaces
Sabbia earrings — studs and drops in diamond pavé yellow gold — bring the collection's continuous brilliance to the ear, positioned where the diamonds catch light in every conversation. Sabbia pendant necklaces position the diamond pavé field at the collarbone. Both formats carry the collection's characteristic quality: the visual richness of thousands of diamonds in warm yellow gold, worn in formats of Pomellato's characteristic everyday directness.
Sabbia Cross Designs
The Sabbia cross pendant — a cross form entirely covered in brilliant-cut diamond pavé in 18K yellow gold — is among the most striking and most personal pieces in the collection. The cross form, one of the oldest symbols in decorative art, rendered in Pomellato's continuous diamond pavé in yellow gold, produces a piece of immediate visual authority that wears with the casual warmth that is the house's defining quality. Sabbia cross pendants on fine yellow gold chains are among the most consistently sought specialty pieces in the collection.
Authenticating Pomellato Sabbia Pieces
Signature and Hallmarks
All authentic Pomellato Sabbia pieces carry the "POMELLATO" signature and "750" hallmark alongside the Italian star precious metal mark. The signature appears on the interior of ring bands, on clasp surfaces for bracelets and necklaces, and on the reverse of pendants and earring posts.
Pavé Quality
The diamond pavé is the primary craftsmanship indicator for Sabbia pieces. Genuine Pomellato Sabbia pavé is completely flush — each stone set at the same level as its neighbors, creating an even surface with no high or low stones visible. Every stone should be completely secure with zero movement when the piece is handled. Any unevenness in the stone surface, any missing stones, or any looseness in the setting should be assessed carefully before purchase. At Opulent Jewelers, every Sabbia piece is individually authenticated against these standards before listing.

Frequently Asked Questions — Pomellato Sabbia
What is the Pomellato Sabbia collection?
The Sabbia — Italian for "sand" — is Pomellato's diamond collection, in which brilliant-cut diamonds are pavé-set across the surface of 18K yellow gold pieces to create a continuous field of brilliance. The collection spans rings, earrings, bracelets, pendants, and cross designs. The warmth of Pomellato's yellow gold beneath the diamond pavé gives the Sabbia a richer, more Italian character than equivalent diamond pieces from houses working in white gold or platinum.
Is Pomellato Sabbia a good investment?
Sabbia pieces are Pomellato's strongest secondary market performers, combining the material value of significant diamond content with the house's brand premium and craftsmanship quality. The diamond content provides a value floor independent of brand trends, while the Pomellato brand premium adds to it. Purchasing pre-owned at Opulent Jewelers offers meaningful savings versus current boutique retail pricing.
Why does Pomellato use yellow gold for diamond pieces?
Pomellato's preference for rose & yellow gold is fundamental to the house's Italian identity and aesthetic philosophy. Gold gives the Sabbia's diamond pavé a warmth and richness that white gold or platinum would not provide — the warm gold base intensifies the diamond brilliance above it in a way that produces a specifically Italian visual effect. The combination is entirely distinctive and immediately recognizable as Pomellato.
