South Sea and Tahitian pearl earrings
South Sea cultured pearls and Tahitian pearls 14.3–16.8 mm · 18k yellow gold · clip backs
These earrings feature a striking pairing of South Sea cultured pearls and Tahitian pearls, selected for their exceptional size, luster, and contrast. Each earring is composed of one luminous white South Sea pearl and one dark Tahitian pearl, measuring 14.3–16.8 mm, creating a bold yet balanced composition.
The South Sea pearls display a soft, satiny luster with a bright, clean bodycolor, while the Tahitian pearls offer deep, naturally dark tones with subtle overtones. The contrast between light and dark highlights the individual character of each pearl while maintaining a cohesive, high-jewelry presence.
Set in 18k yellow gold with secure clip backs, the design allows the pearls to remain the focus. The result is elegant, sculptural, and unmistakably refined.
Assael’s high-jewelry designs emphasize pearl quality, proportion, and thoughtful pairing, bringing together exceptional South Sea and Tahitian pearls in pieces that feel both expressive and timeless.
