After the diamond, there has been no other gem that has inspired more passionate metaphors and style references throughout the ages than pearls. And when the godfather of pearls comes out with a new collection to commemorate its 125th anniversary, you can be sure that its pieces speak to the same poetic lyricism and elegance that came from time immemorial.

Inspired by an ephemeral moment in time—a beautiful and delicate petal swinging in the spring breeze, descending against the elegant backdrop of Place Vendome in Paris, France, Mikimoto’s “Pétales Collection Les Pétales Place Vendôme” translates this moment into an elegant array of jewellery featuring delicate South Sea and Akoya cultured pearls adorned with diamonds that come in petal silhouettes.
