Mikimoto Necklaces – Mikimoto Pearl Necklace a Jewelry Basic

Think of women in politics, such as senators and First Ladies or queens and princesses of state, women in business, be they CEOs or CFOS, or revered actresses and you will likely picture them wearing a classic akoya cultured pearl necklace. While these women do enjoy positions of status, pearl necklace strands are for every woman regardless of status and age. Possible occassions to wear your pearl necklace include formal events; outdoor afternoon picnics; life milestones such as graduation celebrations; marriage and weddings; and holiday festivities such as Christmas, New Years and Easter. In fact, classic pearl necklace strands are excellent gifts to commemorate those life milestones like major bithdays, graduations and marriage.

A Mikimoto pearl necklace like this one here are such incredible pieces of craftmanship and beauty that few others compare. Their history of making cultured pearls in Japan and other Pacific waters makes them knowledgable on the art of culturing pearls with their brilliant luster and almost perfect surfaces. Add to this their eye for aesthetically pleasing design that complements a woman’s shape and natural glow, and it is easy to understand why Mikimoto makes the highest quality pearl necklace strands.

Mikimoto Pendant – Never Disappoints, Always Pleases

Pearl jewelry got some love in the October issue of National Jeweler magazine as it was the featured cover story. The beautiful three page story showcased unique and amazing and pearl rings, pearl necklaces and pearl bracelets from many different designers. Some of the pieces were set in white gold, yellow gold or platinum and were accented with diamonds, semi-precious stones and precious gemstones. All of the pieces are gorgeous with great attention to detail and incredible craftmanship. However, I was still disappointed and not for the reason you might think.

I was not disappointed in the pearls and the fine jewelry but I was astonished that National Jeweler did not include Mikimoto pearls in their layout. They did not feature one Mikimoto item nor did they even mention Mikimoto. I really could not believe that they would leave Mikimoto out. I can’t believe that they just forgot Mikimoto because Mikimoto is the master pearl jeweler creating the most aesthetically pleasing and finely crafted pearl jewelry. Pictured here is a marvelous and classic Mikimoto pendant with three pearl drops and diamond separator accents from the South Sea Cultured Pearl collection. The luster and high quality of these pearls is unsurpassed by any other pearl designer. Why did National Jeweler exclude Mikimoto? Did they do this on purpose?
