Without a doubt, pearls are a definite closet staple and since ancient times, they linger in our imagination and beliefs. For centuries, divers have braved the darkness of the deepest parts of the oceans in search of oysters harboring this coveted shiny gem, and they were once so rare that only royalty wore them, therefore becoming a sign of wealth and social status. Japan has a successful, thriving pearl industry and its pearls take centerstage in any jewelry market anywhere — they are the undisputed leaders. Known as Akoya cultured pearls thanks to the oyster that produces them, they are revered throughout the world for their exquisite beauty, but when people speak of pearls, they are usually thinking of Mikimoto. The Mikimoto name is known and adored throughout the globe, and with good reason! Its founder, Kokichi Mikimoto, was the first in the world to successfully culture a pearl!
