Japan’s Mikimoto pearls captivate women around the world

Mikimoto made it possible to create pearls artificially by succeeding in culturing, which used to be a product of chance, and soon its reputation for beautiful pearls spread to every corner of the world.

Mikimoto later opened Japan’s first pearl boutique in 1899 (Meiji 32) and established the Japanese brand as a key international name in the modern jewellery industry.

Mikimoto employed an integrated system, from production to sales, to ensure superior quality at all times, and this principle has been passed on to this day. Mikimoto was appointed as the first purveyor to the Imperial Household Agency in the field of precious metals and accessories, and developed into a royal jewellery store.

Mikimoto created its original designs by combining traditional Japanese techniques with European artistry, and the brand offers a wide range of designs, from classical styles to ones showcasing the latest trends.

The Boucle Précieuse bracelet is adorned with a diamond clasp that leaves a lasting impression. By doubling the bracelet around the wrist, its style embodies luxury with a relaxed feel. Although it is originally designed as a bracelet, it can also be used as a necklace.

The Mikimoto M series includes a collection of rings, pendants and earrings. It creates a gorgeous style if used as a set and offers an elegant aesthetic if worn alone.

This simple yet attractive design highlights the original beauty of pearls. Voluminous pearls have a dazzling shine and show a multifaceted beauty.

A World of Creativity Splash collection

The world-renowned designers of Mikimoto created this collection with a free-spirited mindset. The design captures the moment a spray of water rises gently and also glamorously expresses one’s own individuality, strength and energy.

Featuring a stunning pearl that embodies elegance, a diamond is placed on the clasp of Mikimoto’s signature M emblem which is placed within the strand.

This jewellery has an overwhelming presence and premium radiance.

A pin-type brooch that is worthy of the holiday season, this is a perfect design for the joyous season. It is a piece that will make you want to wear it as a playful accent.

During the holiday season, the packaging changes for Christmas. Regular wrapping features a silver ribbon and the red ribbon creates a fabulous atmosphere which is exclusive for Christmas.

There will be a special event, The Sense of Beauty – Elegance and Beauty from Japan, at The Stage, on the first floor of the main building, from 17-24 January 2017.

The venue’s installation will incorporate cherry blossoms and will present Mikimoto’s interpretation of Japanese traditional aesthetics. There will also be a pre-sale of a new jewellery with a cherry blossom motif. You will be able to enjoy a world reminiscent of spring.

It has been said that pearls have been attracting the people of Japan for many years, ever since the Yamataikoku Era.

Kokichi Mikimoto’s dream was “to adorn the necks of all women around the world with pearls.”

Mikimoto has inherited the spirit of the founder and pursues further beauty. Mikimoto offers value and the highest quality, and is loved by women around the world of all generations.
