Mikimoto

Kokichi Mikimoto is the founder of Mikimoto, not just known for his collection, but also for the fact that he invented and propagated the use of cultured pearls in crafting jewelry pieces. Ever since then, Mikimoto has been seeking to harness the allure of pearls, translating our hopes and dreams into pearl necklaces for over 120 years.

Mikimoto’s collection only selects the finest pearls which include South Sea pearls, pink conch pearls, Tahitian pearls, and other rare specimens. On top of that, Mikimoto’s jewelry only uses 18k gold and platinum for the metal components as well as top-grade diamonds. Only the finest silk threads are used for jewelry that has pearl strings.

Mikimoto imbues each piece with a sense of artistry and aesthetic that was born in Japan and has been shaped by influences from different cultures around the world. They also take pride in the unparalleled craftsmanship and passionate approach to their craft developed over more than a century of innovation.
