MIKIMOTO Pearl Earrings:
MIKIMOTO Akoya Sea Pearl earrings from Japan are one of the most popular items JR Dunn.com sells, a classic jewelry item - one of the top 10 "must have" items for your wardrobe. These pearl earrings make the perfect gift for a bride or bridesmaids, a new mom, graduate, or for any special occasion - even just for you.
Choosing Pearl Earrings:
Many jewelry connoisseurs will wear nothing but MIKIMOTO as their quality is unsurpassed. Only the best 3-5% of cultured pearls are deemed worthy to carry the MIKIMOTO name. The other 95-97% of pearls are used for lesser brands, who may label themselves as AAA or AA, but these letter grades mean nothing when used by a company other than MIKIMOTO (the inventor of the letter grading system). Also the MIKIMOTO pearls JR Dunn sells are sea pearls, not freshwater pearls which are usually mass produced in China and have very little value.
Choosing Pearl Size:
JR Dunn offers a wide selection of millimeter sizes to accommodate most tastes and occasions. The 3-5mm size pearls are charming for children or those whom are very petite. The classic 6-7.5mm size is the most popular for women and easily moves from the tennis court or jeans to the boardroom to a black tie event. The larger 8-10mm size creates a rich, luxurious look. For larger than 10mm, consider South Sea Pearls which start at about 9mm and go into the 15mm range.
Choosing Pearl Grade:
Choose the best quality you can afford, but even the lowest grade of MIKIMOTO will be pearls you will be proud to wear, as only the very best 3-5% of cultured pearls from the sea are worthy to carry the MIKIMOTO name.
