Les Pétales High Jewellery Collection | Mikimoto
Discover Mikimoto’s Les Pétales high jewellery collection — a poetic journey where pearls and diamonds capture the fleeting beauty of rose petals in bloom.
The Mikimoto Heritage
Founded in Japan in 1893 by Kokichi Mikimoto, the brand is renowned for creating the world’s first cultured pearl. Ever since, Mikimoto has been celebrated for turning the beauty of the sea into art — transforming pearls into symbols of purity, elegance, and innovation.
The Inspiration
Unveiled during Paris Haute Couture Week, Les Pétales is Mikimoto’s tribute to the delicate moment when rose petals drift into the breeze. Soft, graceful, and full of life, the collection transforms this fleeting vision into jewellery that lasts forever.
Mikimoto, the maison that introduced the world to cultured pearls, brings its signature artistry to this collection by combining Akoya and South Sea pearls with diamonds, pink sapphires, morganites, and rare conch pearls. The designs feel alive, as if nature itself had bloomed into high jewellery.
The Jewels
The Les Pétales collection spans necklaces, earrings, rings, bracelets, and brooches — each one designed to express movement and lightness.
Necklaces drape pearls in flowing strands, accented with diamond petals that sparkle like dewdrops.
Earrings combine South Sea pearls with diamonds that sway gently, evoking the rhythm of falling petals.
Rings highlight pink conch pearls and brilliant diamonds, forming miniature floral sculptures for the hand.
Brooches pair Akoya pearls with diamond petals, balancing tradition with a modern sense of asymmetry.
Every piece captures a moment of beauty — a petal caught mid-air, a flower just beginning to open.
The Craftsmanship
Behind each jewel is Mikimoto’s century-long mastery of pearls and design. Pearls are chosen for their perfect luster, symmetry, and radiance, while diamonds and colored stones are hand-selected for harmony and brilliance.
Artisans craft the jewels with intricate layering, subtle asymmetry, and sculptural precision, giving each piece a sense of natural motion. The craftsmanship ensures that even the most elaborate designs feel light, graceful, and wearable.
The Gemstones
At the heart of Les Pétales are pearls — luminous Akoya and South Sea pearls alongside rare conch pearls with soft pink hues. They are paired with diamonds that enhance their glow, and gemstones like sapphires and morganites that add depth and contrast.
This palette of white, blush, and rose tones reflects the softness of petals, while the sparkle of diamonds brings light and brilliance to every creation.
Each Mikimoto creation reflects the maison’s devotion to craftsmanship and design harmony. The brand’s philosophy combines traditional Japanese precision with a modern aesthetic, where every curve and detail is carefully considered to highlight the natural brilliance of the pearls. Mikimoto’s Les Pétales collection is like a poetry in pearl and diamond form. Each jewel celebrates the fleeting beauty of nature while honoring the maison’s timeless craftsmanship.
