Of any cultured pearl necklace, the most iconic are those that are created by Mikimoto, the great inventor of the cultured pearl in the late 19th and early 20th century. This single strand of large white examples which graduate to very large sizes is a wonderful example of a modern icon wonderfully evolved while staying true to Mr. Mikimoto's original vision of top quality cultured pearls.
