About the Assael Collection

For more than 80 years, Assael has been one of America's most important pearl houses, known for supplying exceptional pearls to leading jewelers and collectors. Many pieces in this collection were matched and assembled over decades, with pearls of a quality and scale that are increasingly difficult to source today.

Pearl Paradise was entrusted with this finite collection as these pieces moved out of the traditional retail channel. They are now offered directly to clients, without passing through the customary retail layer.

Each piece is offered individually, and once sold it cannot be reordered. For collectors and pearl connoisseurs, this is a rare opportunity to acquire Assael pearls of a caliber, provenance, and matching quality that are increasingly difficult to replace.

Want additional photos, video, or a private virtual viewing of this piece? We're glad to help.

14.8–20.1 mm baroque South Sea pearl necklace
40 baroque South Sea pearls · 72.3 momme · approx. 35 inches · 18K white gold diamond clasp (158 diamonds, 2.30 ctw)

A 35-inch rope of forty baroque South Sea pearls measuring 14.8 to 20.1 mm, with an extraordinary total weight of 72.3 momme. South Sea pearls reaching 20 mm are exceptional at any shape, and a full long strand of forty at this scale is something almost never seen. The pearls carry luminous white bodycolor, thick nacre, and a glowing, reflective luster, with the baroque forms adding depth and sculptural movement across the length.

Each pearl was selected and arranged for a balanced progression of size and tone, the kind of composition at this scale that defined Assael. Finished with an 18K white gold ball clasp set with 158 natural diamonds totaling 2.30 carats.

A museum-caliber strand from the Assael Collection, held in our Los Angeles vault. Once it sells, it will not be available again.
