A stunning peacock Tahitian strand of thirty-seven gem-grade pearls measuring 11.0 to 13.3 mm. The pearls carry a very dark natural bodycolor lit by intense, multi-hued peacock overtones, with strong luster and clean surfaces that bring out the full depth and complexity of the color.

Peacock is the most coveted color in Tahitian pearls, prized for the way greens, purples, and bronzes layer and shift across a dark base as the light changes. A peacock this intense and this multi-hued, matched evenly across thirty-seven pearls, is genuinely rare, and the shifting play of color is something no photograph can hold. Each pearl was selected and matched for that overtone and depth, the kind of selection Assael was known for.

Finished at approximately 18.5 inches with a platinum and 18K white gold clasp set with 50 natural diamonds totaling 2.28 carats, hand-knotted on silk.

The full play of a peacock overtone like this only comes alive in person, as the colors move with the light. We'd be glad to arrange a private viewing, at our Los Angeles vault or by virtual appointment.

A museum-caliber strand from the Assael Collection, held in our Los Angeles vault. Once it sells, it will not be available again.
