Japanese jeweler Komichi Mikimoto made his everlasting mark on history as the inventor of cultured pearls. His discovery that lustrous pearls could be created by introducing a small particle into an oyster changed the face of the jewelry world forever. The first man-made pearl was cultured by Mikomoto in 1893, after years of experimentation. In 1899, he opened his first pearl boutique in Ginza, Tokyo, and by the 1920s and beyond, his beautiful pearls were becoming a global phenomenon. Now, over a century after his work began, the legacy of Mikimoto lives on through the beautiful pieces created by his international company. The epitome of classic beauty and feminine elegance, Mikimoto cultured pearls set the standard for quality and are worn around the world today. In particular, vintage and antique Mikimoto pieces have become very collectible!
A stunning pearl and sapphire bracelet from designer Mikimoto! This delicate and feminine piece features a single strand of 20 cultured pearls, which have a soft creamy white color and wonderful luster. Each pearl is strung on ivory colored thread, and hand knotted in between. Separating the pearls are four 18k spacers, which feature channel set sapphire stones. The cornflower blue tone of the sapphires beautifully complements the stunning hue of the pearls and white gold details. The bracelet is also adorned with a dainty "M" charm. The bracelet fastens with a gorgeous pearl hook clasp at the back. A single delicate pearl adorns the center of the decorative clasp, and stamped on the back is the Mikimoto, "M", maker's mark and a "750" purity mark. Perfect for everyday wear or special occasions, this elegant bracelet would make a perfect addition to any collection!
Measurements: The bracelet measures 6 1/4" long. Each pearl measures approximately 7.3mm in size.
Condition: The overall condition of the bracelet is excellent. There is no apparent damage to any of the pearls or sapphire stones, all of which are intact and securely strung. The 18k pearl hook clasp is secure and in good working condition.
