Mikimoto was founded in 1893 by Kokichi Mikimoto, who earned the nickname "The Pearl King" when he created the world's first spherical cultured pearl, and is the man who brought the world the cultured pearl. His steadfast dedication and quest for perfection means every pearl follows the same rigorous sorting process and proprietary grading system for that flawless and, above all, timeless pearl. The fine jewellery pieces produced take these everlasting treasures and set them in traditional strands as well as more contemporary designs in earrings, bracelets, necklaces and rings. With more than a century of experience, expertise and unfaltering devotion, Mikimoto's pearls are unique, luxurious, and well worth seeking out.
