Vintage MIKIMOTO Special Feature 1

This feature highlights vintage items from “MIKIMOTO,” one of Japan’s leading jewelry brands, that are no longer available for sale, showcasing rings, earrings, brooches, obi clasps, bangles, and more. In addition to the brand’s image as a pearl specialist, the feature also focuses on designs and materials that differ from current collections.

For those who already own MIKIMOTO or other high-end jewelry and are looking for pieces with designs different from current collections,those interested in vintage or antique jewelry, those who wish to appreciate jewelry in the context of the brand’s history and the craftsmanship of its artisans, and those who are not yet familiar with vintage MIKIMOTO—we aim to convey the appeal of these pieces and foster new connections. Please note that the items featured in this series can be viewed in person at our atelier.

■Background of the Project

MIKIMOTO is a Japanese jewelry brand that has created countless pieces throughout its long history while pursuing the beauty of pearls. In this special feature, we focus on vintage items—no longer available for sale—from MIKIMOTO’s rich heritage.

Some vintage MIKIMOTO pieces feature designs and materials that differ from current collections. Many of these items showcase designs unique to their era and reflect the aesthetic sensibilities of the time they were created; each piece embodies the artistic sensibilities and craftsmanship of its era.

We introduce the multifaceted appeal of the brand—which cannot be fully captured by the image of “MIKIMOTO = pearls” alone—and create opportunities to experience MIKIMOTO’s history and craftsmanship through encounters with vintage jewelry, which is now difficult to obtain.

■Items to Choose From, Ranging from Rings to Obi Clasps, to Suit Your Occasion and Outfit

This exhibition will showcase items from various categories, focusing primarily on pieces no longer available for sale. The lineup is scheduled to include rings, earrings, brooches, obi-dome, and bangles, allowing you to enjoy the diverse charms of MIKIMOTO as expressed through different eras and designs.

In particular, we will highlight designs not found in today’s MIKIMOTO collection, as well as the unique, distinctive designs characteristic of vintage pieces, focusing on the beauty of their materials and embellishments to convey the charm of each individual piece.

Furthermore, by examining the historical context of each piece, we aim to help you appreciate MIKIMOTO’s long history and the allure of its craftsmanship. We hope to introduce you to the unique charm of vintage pieces—distinct from current collections—and offer you a once-in-a-lifetime encounter with jewelry that makes you think, “I want it precisely because I can’t find it anymore.”

■ You can also view the actual items in-store

You can view the actual items featured in this collection at our atelier.Some vintage jewelry pieces possess qualities—such as the texture of the materials, the way light reflects off them, their thickness, and intricate details—that are difficult to fully appreciate from photographs alone. By viewing the actual pieces, you can evaluate them while appreciating their three-dimensional form, the craftsmanship of the details, and the overall balance. One of the highlights of this feature is the opportunity to see items that caught your interest online in person and purchase them on the spot.

Additionally, the atelier is currently decorated in a limited-time Christmas theme. You can view the items in a space that captures the spirit of the season.
