Pomellato Sabbia: A Collector Guide

Sabbia, Italian for "sand", is Pomellato’s scattered pavé: diamonds of different sizes and colours, white, brown and black, set unevenly across warm gold so the surface glitters like sunlit sand. It runs across rings, bracelets, bangles, earrings and pendants. This guide shows how to recognise a genuine Sabbia piece and what decides its value.

Diamonds scattered like sand

Pomellato, founded in Milan in 1967, set out to make fine jewellery feel modern and wearable. Sabbia turns the neat rows of a classic pavé into a scatter: stones of mixed sizes, often in warm brown and champagne tones with white or black, set at varying density so no two areas look the same.

What is my Sabbia piece worth?

Whether a Sabbia piece holds its value comes down to the piece and its size, how many diamonds it carries and their colours, the gold colour, its condition (missing stones, wear), and whether you have the box and certificate. No box or certificate? We still buy it. We never publish figures.

Questions people ask

Is my Pomellato Sabbia genuine?

Look for a clean "Pomellato" signature with a serial, 750 and the Italian maker’s star mark. The stones should be mixed in size and colour, yet every one seated level and secure. No single detail proves it. Send a photo of the signature and a close-up of the stones, and we will check them, free.

Can I sell Sabbia without the box?

Yes. A Sabbia piece without its box or certificate is still bought on what it is: we read the signature and serial, check the stones and settings, and look at the condition. A certificate supports the value, but it is never required to sell.

How much is Pomellato Sabbia worth?

It depends on the piece and its size, how many diamonds it carries and their colours, the gold colour, the condition and whether you have the box and certificate, together with current demand. We do not publish prices. Send photographs of the piece and its marks for a free value inspection.

Where can I sell Pomellato Sabbia?

To a buyer who checks the signature and the stones in person before paying. We buy Pomellato directly: a free value inspection from photographs, then an appointment in Mayfair or at our Braintree office, Special Delivery post or free collection. You are paid the same day after inspection, by bank transfer or in cash.

Are the brown diamonds real diamonds?

Yes. Pomellato uses natural coloured diamonds, brown, champagne and black, as well as white ones. They are part of the Sabbia look and are taken into account when we value the piece, alongside the design, the gold and the condition.

My Sabbia is missing a stone. Can I sell it?

Yes. We buy Sabbia pieces with a missing or loose stone and value them on what they are. Please do not have them repaired elsewhere first, because a replacement stone may not match. Send a close-up of the gap, and we will tell you how it affects the value.
