Mikimoto pearls trace their origins to Kokichi Mikimoto, who revolutionised the pearl industry in the late 19th century. In 1893, he successfully cultured the world's first semi-spherical pearl in Japan, marking a breakthrough in pearl cultivation. By 1905, Mikimoto perfected the process for producing round cultured pearls, transforming them into accessible luxury.
His dedication to quality established Mikimoto as a global brand, renowned for its exquisite pearls that bridged nature's beauty and innovative craftsmanship.
