Shot on location in Miami by fashion and beauty photographer David Benoliel, the new campaign features diversity of both gender and ethnicity, starring models Michaela Kocianova and James Lorenzo wearing Assael pearl and coral jewelry.
Also filmed on video and drone by Tony Michel at a private beachfront estate, the campaign creative highlights “elegance with attitude,” focusing on the panache of contemporary luxury lifestyles.
Assael Senior VP, Peggy Grosz, and longtime advertising agency Padulo Privé jointly conceived and produced the new campaign under the supervision of creative director Alison Goudreault.
“I think it can best be described as elegance with attitude, across generations, genders, and lifestyles,” said Grosz. “Assael, after all, coined the phrase ‘The Pearl Revolution,’ now an international jewelry and fashion phenomenon. As North America’s premier source of the most magnificent pearls in the world, it is time to explore our unrivaled quality and exciting new designs that show how the history and story of pearls has evolved.”
Highlighted in the campaign are new pearl designs from the Bubbles Collection by Sean Gilson for Assael. It includes classic Assael strands, sautoirs, earrings, and rings, as well as exciting new jewels from the colors, pairings, and modernist collections. It’s designed to be worn by all genders with fresh, contemporary styling, the pearls come to life in both casual and couture designer attire, reflecting the elegance with attitude theme.
The gender-neutral campaign includes pearl strands, brooches, and a single earring being worn by Lorenzo in both business and casual attire.
The campaign also features Assael’s responsibly sourced coral in classic strands, as well as more chic, innovative jewelry designs.
