Mikimoto, Japan’s Pearl-Centric Jewelry Company, Shells out to Protect Marine Habitats

Founded in Ginza, Japan, in 1893, Mikimoto is a high-end jeweler that specializes in cultured pearls. Industry experts and consumers with an affinity for the stone worldwide often regard the brand as the top echelon of fine pearl jewelry, and its sophisticated pieces are considered collectibles that are passed down over generations.

In 1899, the first Mikimoto pearl shop opened in the fashionable Ginza district of Tokyo, and the business expanded internationally in the early 20th century when it opened a boutique in London. In fact, Mikimoto was one of the first Japanese brands to gain international recognition. Despite its luxury status, Mikimoto is committed to culturing pearls in a sustainable way. Kentaro Nishimura, Mikimoto’s COO, says that the jeweler is trying to achieve zero emissions with respect to its farming.

In addition, Mikimoto reuses oyster shells to create jewelry and accessories such as picture frames or in farming to improve the quality of soil. Oyster meat residue sees a second life as compost.
