"My dream is to adorn the necks of every woman in the world with pearls." - Kokichi Mikimoto, Founder

Kokichi Mikimoto has devoted his entire life to pearls, to the point of being called The Pearl King. In 1893, he etched his name into history by successfully creating the world's first cultured pearls. His dream has continued for over a century with MIKIMOTO. We are proud of this heritage, which makes us one of the world's greatest jewelers.
