    Pearls are so special because they are rare in nature. They form only when something gets inside an oyster or mussel and causes irritation. The mollusk then secretes substances similar to those found on its shell. These harden around the foreign body to create a pearl. Only about one out of every 10,000 wild oysters will ever make a single pearl, and the vast majority of the pearls that occur naturally are too small to use in jewelry. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of pearl jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023

    Many jewelry lovers believe that Mikimoto pearls are worth it. After opening his first eponymous store in a white-stone building reminiscent of the color of pearls in Tokyo in 1899, founder Kokichi Mikimoto quickly earned a reputation for dazzling designs that blended Japanese craftsmanship and European influence. Mikimoto sent his jewelers to Europe to study the latest trends in jewelry and design. They brought back knowledge of Art Deco and Art Nouveau styles, which were incorporated into pieces featuring Mikimoto’s pearls.

    Following World War II, Mikimoto opened stores around the world, with locations now in Paris, New York City, Los Angeles and Shanghai. Though its founder died in 1954, the Mikimoto company has continued to build on the legacy he established, producing collections of pearl necklaces and other pearl-centric jewelry that span a wide range of styles.

    However, whether or not it’s worth investing in Mikimoto pearl jewelry is totally subjective! At 1stDibs, we believe in buying what you love. Our shopping experience enables discovery and learning, whether you are a seasoned connoisseur or just beginning your collection.

    Find Mikimoto pearl jewelry and other jewelry on 1stDibs.
