JR Dunn is an Authorized Mikimoto Jeweler

Chinese legend says the moon creates pearls, instilling them with its power and celestial glow and mystery. An eternal symbol of love ranging from Roman brooches, to the Mikimoto pearl necklace Joe DiMaggio bought for Marilyn Monroe during their honeymoon. A lasting gift of love to span generations, the La Peregrina Pearl was discovered off the coast of Panama in the early 1500s. It was taken to Spain, where King Philip II gave it as a wedding gift to his bride Mary Tudor. The pearl passed through the hands of nobility in France and England until it was sold at auction in 1969 to Richard Burton who gave it as a Valentine's Day gift to his wife, Elizabeth Taylor, who still owns it.
