History
When cultured pearl were first produced in the early 1900’s, pearl fever caught on with the common folk as well. They are just as beautiful as natural pearls, because they are cultivated naturally, after receiving a helping hand from man.
Cultured pearls were invented in 1906 by Kokichi Mikimoto, the son of a noodle-maker in Japan, when he patented a way to induce oysters to make perfectly round pearls on demand. His company, Mikimoto, is still famous around the world for its quality pearls.
