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.

16.0–16.4 mm round South Sea pearl and diamond necklace
25 round South Sea pearls · approx. 17.25 inches · platinum diamond ball clasp (72 diamonds, 6.11 ctw)

This necklace is composed of twenty-five perfectly round South Sea cultured pearls measuring 16.0–16.4 mm. The pearls display luminous natural bodycolor, thick nacre, and exceptional luster, and were meticulously selected for uniformity of size, shape, and surface quality. Pearls of this scale and precision place the strand among the rarest expressions of South Sea pearl craftsmanship.

The strand is finished at approximately 17.25 inches with a platinum ball clasp set with 72 natural diamonds totaling 6.11 carats. The substantial diamond clasp provides a refined and proportionate finishing element, complementing the exceptional presence of the pearls without competing for attention.

Because luster and overtone are best judged in person, we're glad to arrange a private viewing, in our Los Angeles vault or by virtual appointment, so you can see this strand's character directly and compare it against others in the collection.

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