The fine jewellery collection where pearls and ribbons are placed centre stage, the Mikimoto Jeux de Rubans jewellery line will instantly lift your spirits with its selection of playful and spellbinding designs.
Mikimoto is unmatched when it comes to handcrafted elegant pearl jewellery. Their expertise in cultivating pearls and pairing them with 18ct gold and diamonds has gained them a reputation like no other. The journey of the fine jewellery brand began with Kokichi Mikimoto, a native of Toba, Japan, recognized the imminent threat of pearl-producing oysters becoming extinct in his region. Determined to reverse this fate, he conducted numerous experiments over several years, aiming to cultivate pearls in oyster beds. Eventually, he discovered his very first cultivated pearl, a gem of exceptional worth nestled within an oyster's folds. This groundbreaking achievement led to the establishment of the Mikimoto jewellery brand in 1907. Ever since, using exclusively cultivated pearls, Mikimoto has built a cherished legacy coveted by women everywhere.
Mikimoto has no shortage of stunning pearl jewellery collections for you to explore, but for those that enjoy playful tropes and excessive displays of diamond and pearl should certainly make time for the Mikimoto Jeux de Rubans jewellery collection. Each design is adorned with a ribbon, a symbol that holds different meanings to different people. For some, they evoke the innocence of childhood and reminds us of the ribbons we would tie in our hair. For others, they’re a symbol of sophistication, elegance, and grace. That fleeting moment, just before a ribbon's knot unravels, carries an enchanting allure, one that is captured gracefully in the Mikimoto Jeux de Rubans jewellery collection.
As you’d expect from Mikimoto, the fine jewellery brand has cleverly intertwined the ribbon symbol into their glamourous pearl and diamond jewellery pieces for timeless allure and luxurious whimsicality. When paired with white Akoya cultured pearls and brilliant cut diamonds, the motif becomes a breathtaking sight, as can be seen in the variety of Mikimoto Jeux de Rubans necklaces, rings, bracelets and earrings on offer.
One of our personal favourite pieces within the collection is the Mikimoto Jeux de Rubans 18ct White Gold Pearl & Diamond necklace. A light and airy ribbon is placed centre stage, handcrafted from 18ct white gold, intertwining itself around a single 8mm white Akoya pearl. The ribbon is further enhanced by 0.49cts of brilliant cut diamonds for a mesmerising display of sparkle. The necklace is completed by a matching 55cm, 18ct white gold chain.
To match, you can also enjoy a selection of Mikimoto Jeux de Rubans earrings, rings and bracelets adorned with the same ribbon motif. Our Mikimoto Jeux de Rubans 18ct Rose Gold Akoya Pearl earrings will instantly add a touch of glamour and sophistication to an outfit. The 18ct rose gold flows and loops multiple times to create one large, luxurious ribbon wrapped around a 7.5mm Akoya cultured pearl. In this instance, the pink gold is left clean of diamonds but there are more designs like this in the collection which include the sparkle of these white gemstones.
