The word “baroque” comes from the Portuguese word “barroco,” which refers to a pearl with an elaborate shape. It was during the Baroque Era that these non-round pearls were first used in jewelry, echoing the luxurious excess of the period’s art and architecture.
Organically shaped Baroque South Sea Pearls come in almost all varieties, including White South Seas, Golden South Seas, and Tahitian Black Pearls. With their lustrous, mirror-like surfaces, Assael South Sea Baroques are among the largest of our Gem Cultured Pearls, available in sizes of 20mm and larger.
