Mikimoto love pearls digital campaign
Celebrating 130 Years of service to pearls

Mikimoto will be launching the Special Website, Love Pearls, as the second phase of the 130th Anniversary Project. This year marks 130 years since our founder Kokichi Mikimoto succeeded in inventing the world’s first cultured pearl in 1893.

To commemorate this milestone, we have received congratulatory messages from dear friends of Mikimoto, including our Global Brand Ambassador and Actress Dilraba and Actor Song Wei Long, as well as Designer Marc Jacobs, Thai Actor James Jirayu, Japanese Supermodel Ai Tominaga, Japanese Player Mari Natsuki, and Japanese Actor Taishi Nakagawa.

While adorned in some our most iconic and beloved collections, each celebrity shares their own memories with Mikimoto, the allure of Mikimoto Pearls, and their favorite items.

Dilraba, “As if (taking) a special trip with pearls; a trip that has elegant edges and corners, shining with tenderness and passion. Like my favorite Mikimoto M Collection, that gives out dazzling beams of light, (Mikimoto) illuminates my life. Happy 130th anniversary Mikimoto. I love my pearls. “Pearls of Love.” Hope you can also find your own.”

Song Wei Long, “Mikimoto Pearls are mysterious and fascinating. Every minute and every second, I feel an irresistible impulse to be attracted to its warming luster and illuminating gloss. My favorites are Passionoir and Splash Collection, (because) I can be sophisticated or romantic. Happy 130th anniversary to Mikimoto.”

Marc Jacobs, “Hi, my name is Marc Jacobs. When I think of the most beautiful pearls in the world, I think of Mikimoto. My favorite piece of jewelry is a single strand of pearls that I wear not only for good luck but to glamorize every one of my looks. I wish you a happy 130th anniversary, dear Mikimoto. Keep dazzling us with your beautiful pearls.”
