Thereafter, his name has been carved in history for introducing the unprecedented beauty of cultured pearls to the world. His splendid dream of “adorning the necks of all women around the world with pearls” has lived on through Mikimoto. For over a century and through our pursuit of beauty, we have earned a longstanding reputation as one of the world’s finest jewellery houses.
