Mikimoto Praise to Nature – The homage to the treasures born and nurtured by the oceans

The pearl is a treasure born and nurtured by the oceans. Akoya pearls represent the very foundation of MIKIMOTO jewellery. MIKIMOTO continues its pearl journey as it explores ever new designs which represent the ultimate in beauty.

mikimoto praise to nature

Not limited to pearls, MIKIMOTO selects truly beautiful stones which are worthy of its designs and sensibility. Vivid rubies mirror underwater volcanoes in the Praise to Nature, a collection portraying volcanoes’ vigorous energy and nature’s dynamism. “Praise to Nature” is the new theme introduced by MIKIMOTO this year to its range of jewellery, and specifically represents MIKIMOTO’s praise – through the beautiful art form of jewellery – for the vibrantly changing faces of nature

This Mikimoto necklaces and rings capture the mysterious, yet magnificent stories of the sea. Diamonds glitter like the sun reflecting off the ocean surface, while opals gleam, like a school of delicate fish darting playfully through the water underneath.

This Mikimoto design is inspired by coral found within the ocean. It is an embodiment of oceanic mythology. The serenity of the sea emanates throughout this long pearl necklace from the gradation of pearls and colored gemstones.

The magnificent, satiny luster of these fantastic white pearls is produced by the silver-lipped South Sea oyster. Their subdued opalescence will subtly change in appearance under different light conditions, making them a constant marvel to behold. Harvested in sizes from 9mm and up, their shapes range from round, oval or teardrop to free-form baroque.

This June, Mikimoto celebrated the grand opening of its Ginza Main Store. Since opening Mikimoto’s first pearl store in Ginza in 1899, the luxury jewelry house has achieved international acclaim as the leading jeweller of Japan. The façade of our Ginza Main Store pays homage to the luxury brand’s roots, the natural world which gives rise to the pearl, with the concept “Shimmering Spring Sea”.

Sunlight Journey – a Piaget high jewellery collection

All of summer in a Piaget cuff. Sunlight Journey is synonymous with the scenic beauty of the Amalfi coast.

Sunlight journey, a Piaget high jewellery collection

Sun is on fire one last time and spells the start of a festive evening. Plunge into the heart of summer with the vibrant colors of the Piaget Sunlight Journey collection. Inspired by the Amalfi coast, this jewelry journey is punctuated by the path of the sun and the moods it creates: Secrets of Dawn, Midday Festival, and
Nightfall Celebration.

Each time of day produces its own light and its distinctive vibe, in which jewelry and watchmaking creations bloom in dazzling colours thanks to the use of exceptional gems such as blue sapphires and yellow diamonds.

Piaget’s newest collection draws inspiration from the scenic beauty of the Amalfi Coast. A land of fire, volcanoes, and azure blue seas; a land bathed in light, a land where the natural elements unite with strength and passion. A land rich in culture and artistic expressions; a land of exchanges and sharing, where life itself is regarded as an intense and refined work of art, echoing the ‘art of living’ locations so greatly prized by the Piaget Society,” explains the luxury maison.

Secrets of Dawn includes watches featuring dials adorned with variously shaded white opals forming sceneries composed of billowing clouds and foam that inspire dreams and fantasy. Certain watches have captured these images in memory of a summer stroll, by using original materials such as eggshell mosaic for
their dial decoration.

Sunlight journey, a Piaget high jewellery collection - Midday Festival

The highlight of the Midday Festival is a necklace sparkling with an oval-cut Ceylon sapphire. Mosaic effects magnify the splendidly varied shades of the sea: gems reproduce the movement of a wave rippling over a watch, a one-of-a-kind creation embracing the wrist with its asymmetrical charm. A necklace of
sapphires, black opals and diamonds crowned by an emerald-cut blue sapphire shines with unique radiance like waves lapping against the shore.

The NightFall Celebration jewels radiate colourful beams of pink sapphires and red spinels. This range includes watches with dials meticulously crafted of micro-mosaic. We fall in love with the lavish rose bougainvillea encircling the dial taking on an intense and luminous fuchsia rose hue. Luminously resistant to
nightfall, a cushion-shape yellow diamond glows with spectacular radiance in the company of red spinels, yellow and white diamonds.

And sometimes, away from prying eyes, in the darkness well suited to confidential whispers, a ring will reveal its own secret: skilfully crafted feather marquetry embellished with purple sapphires, red spinels and diamonds
