Mikimoto 

I believe Mikimoto was the first ever to culture pearls in the world! There is a Mikimoto museum in Japan. My dream is their passion noir line!

I am so excited! Last week I found a Mikimoto necklace with matching posts on an internet website where actual auction houses are auctioning off estates. The auctioneers only described it as a pearl necklace with matching earrings. So, I'm thumbing through the pics in the listing and I notice the M+clam shell logo on the last pic and my jaw just dropped. I was like "OMG, I bet these are Mikimoto's!" On the opposite side of the clasp there was a empty post where a pearl should have been and the clasp is sterling. I counted 85 +/- pearls on a graduated necklace and knew when the auction went live I would do my very best to make them mine, but honestly I didn't have much hope because surely another bidder would see the same thing I did and know they were Mikimoto. So, on auction day I patiently waited for the pearls to come up, as I would bid with vigor. To my shock I only had one competetor who gave up the fight when the bid reached $40. So, I got a beautiful string of Mikimoto pearls for only $50! I can hardly contain myself as I wait for delivery! Once I receive them, I will send them into Mikimoto for grading and hopefully have the clasp upgraded to 14K or at minimum have the missing pearl replaced.

Hi ,I have been lucky enough to find two Mikimoto pieces, both brooches from a thrift store at super cheap prices 😊 One was the bunch of grapes design and the other a floral spray.10 dollars for the grapes one and 5 for the spray.Both mark ed with the M logo.I think the sales staff must have thought they were imitation!?.😮

I have a Mikimoto necklace, a ring and earrings, but a few days ago I bought a pearl necklace without a clasp from a jewelry store that is closing but I don't want to fool myself but it is beautiful, with a fairly good luster and like a mirror and I compared it with Mikimoto and Seriously, Mikimoto couldn't beat him. Mikimoto has a great reputation for quality, but there is a whole pearl market in Japan and other countries. What I do want to buy is the ones from Mar de Cortez, even a few Mabe, those are the only ones that cannot be counterfeited or compared to any.

I went to mikimoto pearl island. Wonderful place.

Mikimoto is absolutely my favorite...I am lucky enough to have a few pieces of my own and wear a 22 inch double strand every day. I really enjoyed your video - your pieces are stunning! ❤️

Mikimoto is an absolute timeless classic. Never out of style. I want it so bad! Lol. Congratulation!

mikimoto pearl necklace should be the first pearl necklace you own. it's such a classic and it's so gorgeous!

You have beautiful Mikimoto Pearl pieces! Enjoyed watching this video.

Wow lovely pearls😍 I love pearls💗

Beautiful pearls, fashionable and timeless.

Wow there so beautiful!!

I have 3-4 pearl pieces and I always get AAAA and akoya ones I have a Mikimoto set also. With pearls I would always advise to go for brand new ones from their official store in New York or their website and the highest quality preferably

Those are really nice Mikimoto items. I would like to purchase one of their pendants next as soon as I decide on which one. Thank you

I am loving your pearls! I also like to put my money towards real jewelry vs costume jewelry. I still would like a chanel brooch but I think that the extent of my spending on that 😂. Thank your for sharing sweets!

Thanks for sharing, I think you got very good buy!! Love to see you put on a dress and wear the necklace and bracelet extended together to show how it looks together

would love to see your jewelry storage/set up if possible! love your pearl set! also, have you ever had any issues buying pre-loved? it is no easy feat to find honest sellers esp on Ebay!

Hello, so you can only tell the grade of the pearl on mikimoto only from the clasp whether it has diamond?

Mikimoto’s AA 8.5mm pearl studs are USD 2,780 currently… (at the nyc boutique)

What location or store did you go to evaluated the necklace ? I also have a pearl necklace with a 18k locket but i dont know where to get is evaluated

i purchased two unset! pearls from Mikimoto in Japan 40 years ago.... no markings on it so how do i prove they are from them.

Beautiful pearls. What is your opinion on gold pearl chain mikimoto necklace? I dont really want just regular pearls. When i am ready i want really investment piece . I want something dainty elegant, and more modern. Are pearls on those necklaces good quality? Thank you and have a blessed day🙏💗

LOVE your collection!! Can you share with me where in Houston you would recommend that would have a great selection of Mikimoto??

where would you go for an evaluation? nice collection

Hi. How much is the price range for Mikimoto necklace? Thanks

how did you go about getting your necklace authenticated? did you take it to a mikimoto store? :)

Best wishes from Los Angeles lady!

Bravo

I have my grandmas vintage necklace and earrings

So how much does it cost

Only $400 dollars for a brand new Mikimoto earrings of the highest AAA quality!? That's a bargain! When did you bought it?

you have a daughter?? and she got married? I don't believe it.... u look so young. ps. thanks for the review. this was pretty helpful. i was directed to a wholesale jeweller who my future in-laws know. they had me pick out a highest qualty 1 carat diamond ($14000, diamond alone) and then a "mikimoto quality" akoya pearl necklace and matching earrings. the necklace alone is almost half the price.. but i think i will say, no thanks to diamond and ask them to get me a mikimoto.

Супер! Поздравляю!

Each one of us has different styles. Although mikimoto is good quality. I prefer Southsea pearls especially the golden Southsea pearls from Jewelmer.

You bought the bracelet for only $350!?

Your daughter got married? I thought you were around 28.

If you can buy it for 6k from mikimoto and you bought it for 1,200. I don’t see where the “retain” of value is from. Jewelries aren’t an investment, unless it’s an exceptional pieces that cost million of dollars. I would rather save $ and buy something that’s cheaper with the same quality or spend the same amount for better quality.
