About the Assael Collection

For more than 80 years, Assael has been one of America's most important pearl houses, known for supplying exceptional pearls to leading jewelers and collectors. Many pieces in this collection were matched and assembled over decades, with pearls of a quality and scale that are increasingly difficult to source today.

Pearl Paradise was entrusted with this finite collection as these pieces moved out of the traditional retail channel. They are now offered directly to clients, without passing through the customary retail layer.

Each piece is offered individually, and once sold it cannot be reordered. For collectors and pearl connoisseurs, this is a rare opportunity to acquire Assael pearls of a caliber, provenance, and matching quality that are increasingly difficult to replace.

Want additional photos, video, or a private virtual viewing of this piece? We're glad to help.

15.0–16.0 mm round Tahitian pearl and diamond necklace
33 round Tahitian natural-color pearls · 45.9 momme · approx. 21.25 inches · 18K white gold diamond clasp (244 diamonds, 3.41 ctw)

A large-format Tahitian strand of a caliber Assael was known for. Thirty-three perfectly round Tahitian pearls measuring 15.0–16.0 mm, with a substantial total weight of 45.9 momme. Round Tahitian pearls at this size are genuinely rare, and matching thirty-three of them across a full strand is rarer still.

The pearls show exceptional luster and a refined natural palette of silver, charcoal, and subtle peacock overtones. Each was selected and matched for size progression, color harmony, and surface quality, giving the strand remarkable cohesion and presence.

The necklace is finished at approximately 21.25 inches with an 18K white gold clasp set with 244 natural diamonds totaling 3.41 carats.

A museum-caliber strand, matched over years and impossible to recreate. One of a kind.
