MIKIMOTO

If you were thinking about buying pearls anywhere else, STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING. Mikimoto is the place to go for pearls. Not only are they the absolute best pearls, but buying cultured pearls is the most environmentally safe way to go about these precious gems of the ocean!

They are one of the only luxury brands (if not THE only) to work exclusively with pearls. Their work is stunning! Each pearl a perfect little orb, tenderly cultivated and polished to perfection.

It all started with Kokichi Mikimoto - the pearl king. He is thought to be the inventor of cultured pearls. He was disturbed by the corruption, irregularity, and dangers of collecting natural pearls, and started creating his own in the early 19th century. Both artist and scientist, he was able to create pearls that rivaled those naturally found in the sea.

Mikimoto is the world leader in cultured pearls, and surpasses all competitors by far. They set the world standards in cultured pearls, and have a wide collection of stunning pearl jewelry.

To get pearl jewelry from anywhere else is absolute madness. Mikimoto is time tested, environmentally friendly, and treats its workers well.
