A new chapter in our history began when Kokichi Mikimoto succeeded in creating the world’s first cultured pearl. “My dream is to adorn the necks of all women around the world with pearls.” — The founder, Kokichi Mikimoto
Mikimoto is a company that has dedicated itself to the pursuit of beauty for over a century.
Natural pearls are extremely rare. In the wild, less than one in a thousand oyster shells may produce a pearl during their lifetime: hence they were a luxury only for the wealthy before the creation of cultured pearls.
He became the first in the world to successfully culture a semi-spherical pearl in 1893.
Mikimoto jewelry is a wink to eternity.
