The name Mikimoto used to conjure images of a grandmother readying herself for an occasion. An occasion that called for an immaculate strand of creamy pearls from the house of Mikimoto, the first & last name in pearls.
If grandma left you her string of pearls, cling onto it. Because it is “de rigueur” accessory today, perfect for dressing up in a discreet way that says you are classy. And sophisticated. And well brought up.
Mikimoto is 120 years old, so you are wearing heritage & tradition. And you owe the revival to two American icons – Jackie Kennedy in the White House and Marge Simpson on Fox TV. First ladies who never went anywhere without their pearlies.
Mikimoto celebrates 120 years of pearl cultivating tradition and superior craftsmanship with the opening of its flagship boutique at L1-21 The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands on 25 September 2013. Gracing the official opening was TVB celebrity Linda Chung dressed in the Mikimoto White Bouquet. The White Bouquet is created with Akoya Cultured Pearls, South Sea White Cultured Pearls and 121.15ct Diamonds and retails at S$2,210,000.
