Since 1893, MIKIMOTO has been adorning women with the luxury of perfection. From the mysterious birth of a pearl to the painstaking care in harvesting, sorting and matching, the  creation of MIKIMOTO jewellery requires the utmost technical skill and artistry at every  phase. Over 20 years after Kokichi Mikimoto succeeded in cultivating the world's first  cultured pearl, then he established his first Black South Sea pearl farm in 1914, thereby  revolutionising the pearl industry forever.
