Italian jeweller Pomellato, under the Kering group, has acquired an established stone setting laboratory in Valenza, a key jewellery manufacturing hub in Italy, for an undisclosed sum to enhance its manufacturing capabilities. Valenza Setting Lab (VSL) will contribute to strengthen Pomellato’s production, specifically in the diamond and precious stone setting sector, and support the international expansion of the Milan-based jewellery house.
Sabina Belli, CEO, Pomellato, said, “The expertise of the VSL team in high-level stone setting will be invaluable in supporting our growth, especially in the thriving diamond and precious stone segment. We are excited about the opportunities that this new step in our development will provide.”
Pomellato will leverage the expertise of the 24 employees of VSL, including founders Marcello Monti and Gilberto Dentelli, along with a team of expert setters who previously worked for Valenza-based company MG Incassatura, which had been a historical partner of Pomellato.
