Assael Collection: 15.0–19.3 mm Round White South Sea Pearl Necklace, 32.25 inches

15.0–19.3 mm round white South Sea pearl and diamond necklace
47 round white South Sea pearls · approx. 32.25 inches · 18K white gold diamond ball clasp (244 diamonds, 3.40 ctw)

A double-length 32.25-inch strand of forty-seven round white South Sea pearls measuring 15.0 to 19.3 mm. Round white South Sea pearls approaching 19 mm are exceedingly rare, among the largest the species produces, and a full double-length strand of forty-seven matched to this scale is something almost never assembled. The pearls carry luminous white bodycolor, exceptional nacre thickness, and bright, reflective luster.

Each pearl was selected and graduated for a refined rhythm across the full length, the kind of matching at this size that defined Assael. Finished at approximately 32.25 inches with an 18K white gold ball clasp set with 244 natural diamonds totaling 3.40 carats.

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