MIKIMOTO’S NEW PEARL JEWELLERY GOES OVER TO THE DARK SIDE
Güncelleme tarihi: 11 Oca 2022
The new collection from Mikimoto circles black pearls in black rhodium coatings.
Japanese pearl specialist Mikimoto plays with a seductively dark aesthetic in the new ‘Passionoir’ collection. In the jewellery, black South Sea pearls are subjected to the Japanned Noir technique, which cradles the pearl in inky black rhodium coatings for an edgy take on a traditional aesthetic.
The designs place the lustrous black South Sea pearls in necklaces and bracelets, juxtaposing the gleaming orbs against heavy links of silver. In other pieces, different hues of the pearls are celebrated, in mismatching bracelets, for example. In the ‘M’ collection, for a more contemporary take, the pearls are held in jagged edgings of white gold treated with the Japanned Noir technique.
‘We always seek to maintain the importance and relevance of Mikimoto pearl jewellery designs regardless of age and gender,’ says Mikimoto CEO Mr Yasuhiko Hashimoto. ‘Our vision with “Passionoir” was to express this passion through new designs inspired by the strong contrast between the innocent beauty of pearls, combined with the powerful and mysterious black colour, further pursuing the possibility of pearls.’
