RUDEL L THE JEWEL LERS ULTIMATE PEARLFECTION


Pearls are renowned to be the jewellery choice for weddings. They can be classic or provide drama as the designs vary greatly. They are also the birth stone for June and the gift for 30 years of marriage.


Throughout the world in various oceans and waterways, stunning pearls can be found. The environment in which the oysters are situated contributes hugely to the lustre and colour that occurs within the pearls. The vast range of sizes, shapes, colours, and grades of quality makes each pearl entirely unique.

“My dream is to adorn the necks of all women around the world with pearls”. (Hokichi Mikimoto)


This dream has been pursued for over 130 years as Mikimoto continue to preserve their founder’s vision in delivering exquisite pearl jewellery within their extensive portfolio.


Mikimoto only use the very best of the world’s pearl harvest. Their high standards are adhered to by strict criteria at every step of the process.


Originating in Japan and influenced by different cultures from all over the world. Mikimoto weaves a sense of artistry and aesthetic into each piece that they create. Perfected through over a century of innovation, great pride is taken in their unrivalled dedication and attention to detail that their master craftsmen breathe into their work.


It is of the opinion that pearls symbolise purity, wisdom and spiritual transformation.


The lustre of the pearl is of utmost importance. The finest lustre is typically due to a thicker, high-quality nacre. The more spherical the pearl, the better it is considered to be. Pearls are also welcomed in irregular shapes such as baroque pearls which are set into interesting, one-of-a-kind designs.


The more even the colour, the better quality the pearl is. Generally pearls are white or cream in colour. They can however occur as pink, green, gold and black in colour.


Known as the ‘Pearl King’ Kokichi Mikimoto successfully created the world’s first cultured pearls. A true virtuoso of the pearl industry. Natural pearls are extremely scarce. In the wild, less than one in a thousand oyster shells may produce a pearl during their lifetime: hence they were once a luxury adorned by royalty and the ultra-wealthy. It was in 1893 that Kokichi Mikimoto pioneered the perfect equation to harness nature and culture pearls which made them more accessible to own.
