Overview
Assael is a luxury pearl house whose history is closely associated with Salvador Assael, a major figure in the U.S. market for South Sea and Tahitian pearls. The company describes more than 70 years of pearl expertise and continues to position exceptional pearls as the center of the brand.
Pearl selection
The current shop includes Akoya, white and golden South Sea, Tahitian, Fiji, keshi, baroque and natural pearls, plus rare pearl types and coral. Jewelry spans strands, necklaces, earrings, rings, bracelets, brooches and high-jewelry pieces, often combining pearls with diamonds and colored gemstones.
Shopping and site experience
Assael's website functions more like a luxury-house boutique than a volume pearl marketplace. Shoppers can browse by jewelry type, pearl variety and collection, and can contact a fine-jewelry specialist for higher-touch assistance.
What to check before buying from Assael Pearls
Request the exact pearl type, measured diameter, treatment disclosure, photographs, metal and setting details for your chosen item. A retailer's letter grade or brand history alone cannot establish the quality of that piece.
For return eligibility, check whether the deadline runs from purchase, shipment or delivery; whether authorization or arrival is required; and whether customization, wear, shipping costs or final-sale terms affect the order.
