Assael Collection: 12.0–15.0 mm Round White South Sea Pearl Necklace, 17.5 inches

12.0–15.0 mm round white South Sea pearl and diamond necklace
31 round white South Sea pearls · approx. 17.5 inches · 18K white gold diamond ball clasp (158 diamonds, 2.00 ctw)

A fine white South Sea strand of thirty-one perfectly round pearls measuring 12.0 to 15.0 mm. The pearls show radiant natural bodycolor, thick nacre, and a mirror-like luster, individually selected and matched into a strand of exceptional balance and brightness.

On a strand like this, the quality is in the luster. The roundness and size set the foundation, but what gives the strand its life is the depth of the glow, the way each pearl reflects light with a clean, mirror-bright surface, and how evenly that quality carries across all thirty-one. It is the kind of brilliance that reads far more powerfully in person than in any image. Each pearl was chosen and matched for exactly that, in the tradition Assael was known for.

Finished at approximately 17.5 inches with an 18K white gold ball clasp set with 158 natural diamonds totaling 2.00 carats.

Luster of this quality is best seen in person, so 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.
