FAQs

Kokichi Mikimoto successfully created the worlds first cultured pearls in 1893, revolutionising the jewellery industry by making pearls more accessible while maintaining high standards of quality and lustre.

These pieces typically combine saltwater cultured Akoya pearls mounted on precious metals such as 9-carat gold, utilizing secure peg-setting and butterfly backs for durability.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the pearl lustre, nacre thickness, uniform roundness, and checking the metal mount for official hallmarks, makers marks, or the signature Mikimoto oyster stamp.

They offer a versatile aesthetic that complements both tailored workwear and evening attire, providing a subtle focal point without overpowering other accessories.

Pearls should be stored separately in soft pouches to prevent scratching, kept away from harsh chemicals, perfumes, and cosmetics, and cleaned gently with a damp cloth after wearing.
