15.0–18.1 mm round white South Sea pearl and diamond necklace
25 round white South Sea pearls · 39.4 momme · approx. 17.25 inches · 18K white gold diamond ball clasp (244 diamonds, 3.43 ctw)
One of the finest white South Sea strands you will find anywhere. Twenty-five round pearls, none under 15 mm and reaching 18.1 mm, each carrying the luminous bodycolor, thick nacre, and mirror-bright luster that mark the top of South Sea production. Full strands of round whites at this size, matched end to end, are rare in the world today.
Among strands like this, the pearls themselves tell you very little from a specification. The real measure is in the luster and the overtone, how deeply the surface glows and the quiet color that moves across it as the light shifts. These are the qualities that separate a great strand from a merely large one, and they are why two strands of similar size can be worlds apart. Every pearl here was chosen and matched for exactly that, in the tradition Assael was known for.
Finished at approximately 17.25 inches with an 18K white gold clasp set with 244 natural diamonds totaling 3.43 carats.
Luster and overtone reveal themselves best in person, so we’d be glad to arrange a private viewing, in our Los Angeles vault or by virtual appointment, where you can take in this strand’s character and weigh it against others in the collection.
A museum-caliber strand from the Assael Collection, held in our Los Angeles vault. Once it sells, it will not be available again.

Buying from us
This piece is one of a kind
It has no reviews of its own because only one exists. These are reviews of Pearl Paradise from people who bought something else.
I ordered a string of pearls, and to my disappointment, they were too short. No problem. Paradise Pearls was wonderful, exchanged my string and I ordered a longer string. I am SO very pleased with them and love wearing them.

Loved the human contact when I asked for photos, shipping was delivered on time and the pearl necklace is gorgeous. Definitely buying more from pearl paradise.
