Giving the gift of love with cultured pearls is always in style. With an endless variety of designs and jewelry choices, the perfect pearl jewelry gift awaits everyone on any important occasion. When it comes to pearl jewelry, Mikimoto is in a class of their own, top-tier, iconic, classic yet modern and sophisticated. Mikimoto is the premier producer and designer of the world’s highest quality pearls and pearl jewelry. Traditionally, pearls have represented concepts like love, purity, and wisdom. A pearl is the birthstone for the month of June and pearls are commonly given as romantic gifts, especially as 3rd and 13the anniversary gifts.
Mikimoto Pearl Necklaces
Mikimoto jewelry has become synonymous with only the finest quality materials - platinum or 18k gold, all-natural gemstones that haven’t been irradiated or color treated in any way, and the highest quality silk thread. Mikimoto pieces can be identified by the trademark outline of an oyster, a distinctive engraving of the Mikimoto name, or the signature “M” logo charm. With necklace styles including a pearl strand, a simple 18k gold chain accented with a pearl and diamonds or a tin-cup style station necklace, Lee Michaels is pleased to offer a wide selection to suit all styles.
Mikimoto Pearl Earrings
In 1893, Mikimoto founder, Kokichi Mikimoto, successfully developed the world's first cultured pearls. Ever since then, Mikimoto has been seeking to harness the allure of pearls, translating our hopes and dreams into pearl jewelry for over 120 years. Give a timeless gift that goes with every look, a simple pair of pearl earrings. The most popular pearl stud earring size is within the 7.0-8.0mm size range. The 7.0-7.5mm and 7.5-8.0mm pearls will sit nicely on the earlobe with a demure look, and won't feel too heavy or fall forward on the lobe.
Mikimoto Pearl Bracelets
Mikimoto imbues each pearl jewelry piece with a sense of artistry and aesthetic that was born in Japan and has been shaped by influences from different cultures around the world. Mikimoto takes pride in the unparalleled craftsmanship and passionate approach to the jewelry making craft developed through more than a century of innovation. The clean and simple look of a cultured Mikimoto pearl bracelet can dress up your favorite pair of jeans or act as a subtle complement to your go-to little black dress. Give a gift that will be treasured for its style, quality and enduring craftsmanship.
Mikimoto Shop in Shop in New Orleans, LA
In the Fall of 2022, we were pleased to announce the Grand Remodel of our New Orleans, LA location. The result is a brand new location now open on Causeway Boulevard at Lakeside Shopping Center. “We felt like we needed more space and we wanted to provide our customers a larger and more luxurious environment," said Chad Berg, president of Lee Michaels. With the new location came a larger and more personal Mikimoto shopping experience with a Shop-in-Shop environment, offering a wide selection of the newest Mikimoto jewelry as well as timeless and traditional classic Mikimoto jewelry. “At Lee Michaels, we celebrate life’s occasions,” he said. “When someone has a birthday, anniversary or special milestone, we want them to think of us. I think that post-COVID, people are more emotional and appreciate their families more. They are looking for statement pieces that celebrate one another.” “When people walk in here, their jaws drop because it is such a beautiful environment,” he said. “Everyone wants to shop in a place where you can tell there is a commitment to quality. From the fixtures we have to the amount of space, it’s a fresh environment where people feel comfortable and know they will be taken care of.”
“Our goal is to continue to raise the standard in everything we do,” Berg said. “We want our customers to walk in and know that they are experiencing a different level of luxury than anywhere else. We are always committed to doing whatever it takes to make their vision a reality.”
