The house and its work
Mikimoto is a Japanese jewellery house associated with cultured pearls and pearl jewellery. Pearls differ in type, lustre, surface, size and matching; care is gentler than for many gemstones because nacre can be scratched or harmed by chemicals.
What the name covers
Akoya cultured pearls, strands, pearl earrings and Japanese pearl culture. Product families evolve; check the brand's current official catalogue for exact models, dimensions, materials and technical specifications.
A buyer's starting point
Ask what type of pearl is used, how pearls are matched and what care is recommended. Inspect clasp and stringing, and confirm whether restringing service is available in your region. Store pearls separately and apply fragrance before putting them on.
