Assael harnesses the storytelling power of color

Reading Time: 4 minutes

(NEW YORK) – Assael, a premier source for magnificent pearls and exquisite coral, is exploring the evocative storytelling power of color with captivating new designs in natural conch pearls, as well as new additions to its popular NatureScapes and Colors collections. These new jewels either feature rare pearls, such as conchs, or unusual, lesser-known gemstones such as dendritic agate, various types of jasper, petrified wood, mabe pearls, and more. The new styles will debut in May at the 2024 Couture Show in Las Vegas. In addition, a new capsule collection of pearl jewelry for men will also debut.

“We have been exploring color in our designs for several years now, celebrating the vast array of colorful undertones in the magnificent and deep Assael pearl inventory. Our latest designs go beyond color, really capturing the storytelling quality of some of the patterns we find in natural gems,” said Peggy Grosz, Senior Vice President and Creative Director at Assael. “We are capitalizing on the landscapes within dendritic agates, jaspers, and petrified wood to evoke emotions and/or stories. We are also using diamonds to bring out the porcelaneous sheen in rare natural conch pearls or including mother-of-pearl and mabe pearls to highlight the natural process of pearl formation itself. It is exciting and more importantly, it feels very personal – each customer will react to these one-of-a-kind gems in their own unique way.”

New Conch Pearl Designs

Assael’s extensive inventory of fine and gem quality pearls includes natural non-nacreous pearls such as pink conch pearls. Grosz has combined some of the rare, finer specimens of pink conch pearls with diamonds, aquamarines, and conch mother-of-pearl in beautiful new statement rings. 

New NatureScapes

Also launching at The Couture Show will be new iterations of Assael’s NatureScapes collection that take storytelling in jewelry design to new heights. Large, sliced boulder opals are paired with Fijian pearls and tanzanite to create the “Porthole” earrings, evoking the lookout windows in the stateroom aboard a Caribbean cruise. Sunset jasper is paired with vibrant Sardinian coral and tourmaline, calling to mind a fiery sunset above pristine blue waters on a rocky beach. Striped “Sunset” chalcedony is topped by diamonds and cabochons of rare and responsibly sourced Angel Skin Coral, producing a harmony of hue in truly statement earrings. New designs also make use of Fijian oyster shells with blister/mabe pearls, with gold and diamonds, in very unique looks that pay tribute to the natural process of pearl formation.

The Story Behind the Stone: Metal Mashup

Reading Time: 6 minutes I have to confess I just learned about electrum when this topic crawled up on my radar. We love the wide range of jewelry metals today that give consumers tremendous options for creating the exact piece of their dreams. Metal alloys are some of the more exciting variations for imaginative jewelry designers to work with. These options better reflect the tastes of a client and help them to personalize their jewelry, making it truly unique to them. Brooch with a griffin, from the necropolis of Kameiros, Rhodes, c.  625–600 BC (Louvre). Natural Alloy One topic catching my eye at the moment is a rare and naturally occurring metal alloy – electrum. This word, electrum may be uncommon to modern society, but it’s a Latin word derived from the Greek electron mentioned in the Odyssey referring to a metallic substance consisting of gold alloyed with silver. Electrum was usually called white gold in antiquity. But more accurately it was described as pale gold since ...
