Mikimoto is the foremost name in luxury pearl jewelry, founded by Kokichi Mikimoto, who successfully created the world's first cultured pearl in 1893. His ambition to “adorn the necks of all women around the world with pearls” established a legacy of innovation and unparalleled quality that defines the Japanese house. The brand’s aesthetic marries traditional Japanese craftsmanship with European design influences like Art Nouveau and Art Deco, which its founder encouraged by sending artisans to Europe to master their techniques. This fusion resulted in a signature style of timeless elegance and understated refinement.
