Mikimoto Pearls are renowned for their exceptional quality and luster. Founded by Kokichi Mikimoto in 1893, the brand is credited with creating the first cultured pearls. These pearls are formed by inserting a small bead into an oyster, which then secretes layers of nacre, resulting in a beautiful pearl. Mikimoto pearls are often considered the gold standard in the pearl industry. They are known for their round shape, high luster, and smooth surface. The brand offers a variety of pearl jewelry, including necklaces, earrings, and bracelets, making them a popular choice for luxury gifts and special occasions.
