In 1893, Kokichi Mikimoto succeeded in producing the world’s first cultured pearl. More than 125 years later, the Mikimoto brand continues to make history, creating its own distinctive style and implementing the highest quality and consistency standards. A proprietary pearl grading system measures the quality of each Mikimoto pearl based on five factors: luster, surface perfection, shape, color and size. The first of its kind, this unique grading system provides the standard of excellence that distinguishes Mikimoto pearls from all others.
