Assael Collection: 5.5–10.3 mm White South Sea Keshi Pearl and Green Sapphire Necklace, 23.25 inches

5.5–10.3 mm white South Sea keshi pearl and green sapphire necklace
113 White South Sea keshi pearls · 48 green sapphires (16.38 ctw) · approx. 23.25 inches · 18K white gold orbit clasp

This necklace is composed of naturally formed white South Sea keshi pearls measuring approximately 5.5–10.3 mm. Keshi pearls form without a bead nucleus, resulting in organic shapes, solid nacre construction, and a lively, expressive character. The pearls display soft white bodycolor with subtle silvery and blush undertones, along with bright luster that reflects the depth of their nacre.

Interspersed throughout the strand are forty-eight faceted green sapphires totaling 16.38 carats. The sapphires introduce saturated green accents that create rhythmic contrast against the luminous keshi pearls, adding color, texture, and visual movement without overpowering the natural elegance of the pearls themselves.

The necklace is finished at approximately 23.25 inches with an 18K white gold orbit clasp, chosen for both its ease of wear and the way it complements the cool white pearls and green sapphires. The longer length allows the necklace to sit with relaxed sophistication, suitable for layering or wearing as a standalone statement.
