No need to wait for May this year, flowers are in full bloom at Assael this April. Golden South Sea Cultured Pearls are paired with natural yellow and green sapphires to perfectly complement their lustrous gold hues in an astonishing earring. And Pear Shaped Natural Pink Sapphires highlight the magenta hues in a pair of magnificent Tahitian Natural Color Cultured Pearl earrings. For lovers of bright colors, rare and exotic Melo Melo pearls offer a tangy orange zest surrounded by radiant rubies and gold flower petals rimmed in diamonds. These beauties are perfect for the many bright patterns in spring fashion. If you prefer a more subdued style, these shimmering silvery natural keshi pearls surround sparkling aquamarines as blue as the waters of the South Seas where the pearls originate. Forget flowers “to die for” – these organically inspired designs are made to live for!

BRIGHT WHITES

There was a time when wearing white before Memorial Day was an egregious error. But modern couture fashion houses continue to break the rules with dazzling monochromatic, white and off-white ensembles strutting the runways at Chanel, Balmain and Carolina Herrera. There is something exceedingly fresh and chic about a pressed white shirt or a simple ivory sheath. Pair your favorite spring/summer styles with hand carved white jade, diamond and pearl earrings or a luminous pearl pendant dangling from a swaying diamond studded chain. Or get the look with a cute white ruffle blouse and some brilliantly white South Sea pearl earrings. Pearls always flatter your skin tone, whether they adorn a sundress or a creamy Chanel blazer.

Also debuting for spring 2019 are some luscious new colors of pearls. Assael is North America’s largest purveyor of Fiji Pearls. The exotic and beautiful Fiji pearls offer a whole new color palette for pearl lovers to play with and to fall in love with! One of the most alluring colors is a warm tawny brown, and the Assael Modern Mobiles Golden Beryl and Fiji Pearl earrings just received an Honorable Mention in the 2019 Town & Country Jewelry Awards. Multi-hued baroque Fiji pearls also make for an unusually captivating drop earring, perfect to wear with spring blacks or darker shades on those intermittent gray cloudy days of spring. Or bring your own sunshine and brighten the palette with the cheerful, feminine pink of this Angel Skin coral and Spinel ring. It is sure to draw a compliment every time you wave hello or send a text message on your smart phone. Another option is to stack up these lovely Tahitian pearl and spinel rings. The spinels coax the subtle color undertones from the pearls, and you can match the rose gold or white gold with your watch or your other favorite jewels for the perfect overall look.
