thejewelrybook.com | 21 is pairing of pearls and coral with colored gemstones and unique materials that enhance and play on their delicate hues has been tremendous. Not only has it expanded (and in many cases, redefi ned) what 'pearl jewelry' means to most people; but it has also brought entirely new markets of customers to the Assael party. And what a party!! Look at the way the veiny golden matrices of the turquoise seem as though they've been leached from the pearls that comprise the 3-Row Bracelet of Turquoise, Fancy Yellow Diamonds & Golden South Sea Pearls; or the way in which spinels in hues ranging from violet to periwinkle coalesce with the banded pearl they surround in the unique Quahog Natural Saltwater Pearl & Lavender Spinel Ring, creating an incredibly special jewel that brings to mind the kind of intergalactic phenomenon you'd expect only to see through the Hubble Space Telescope! What " e Colors" collection does quite deftly, is prove that pearls and coral really can and do go with everything: It's just a matter of interpretation. By pairing these aquatic gems with such materials as petrifi ed bog wood that resembles the wings of a ghost moth, Maligano jasper that approximates Sakura blossoms as in an Edo-period Japanese woodcut, or Dendritic agate that evokes an undersea forest of coral; Assael has paved a bold, new avenue for pearls and coral, alike. And while these jewels are irrefutably 'precious,' they are also fresh, fun, and exciting; resulting in what I like to think of as gateway jewels for the aspiring afi cionado or collector who, having dipped a toe (or an earlobe) in these waters, has taken an initial step toward purchasing one of the gobsmacking strands of pearls or coral for which the house has been, is, and always will be associated.
