Assael Collection: 6.5–7.0 mm Akoya Pearl Cross Pendant

This 18k gold pendant necklace features AAA-quality akoya pearls measuring 6.5–7.0 mm, arranged in an elongated cross motif with increased scale and presence. The pearls display bright white color, excellent luster, and smooth surfaces, creating a graceful and luminous composition.

Individually photographed, this is the exact necklace you will receive. The pendant is suspended from an adjustable 18k gold chain that can be worn at 16 or 18 inches, allowing for versatile styling. The polished gold bail and fittings provide a refined finish while keeping the focus on the pearls.

This design reflects Assael’s understated approach to pearl jewelry, combining careful pearl matching with classic symbolism and elegant proportions. The larger pearl size and extended form give this cross a more pronounced, statement-like feel while remaining timeless and wearable.

This is one of the pieces from the Assael collection we brought to our Los Angeles vault after the company withdrew its high jewelry from the retail market. The collection spans decades of curation, and this release is the first time these jewels have been accessible to the public. Each piece is being offered at the best value in Assael’s 80-year history.
