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.

One of the standout pieces from Mikimoto's new 20-piece Hello Kitty collection includes this layered pearl necklace, which traces Hello Kitty’s face in diamonds, rubies and onyx pearls.
