Kokichi Mikimoto patented the process in Japan in 1916, and for over a century the brand has been the global benchmark for pearl quality, luster, and grading. A Mikimoto strand is not simply a pearl necklace — it is a provenance statement, backed by the brand's rigorous selection standards that reject the majority of pearls produced at their farms before a single strand is assembled. This 16-inch princess-length strand is a classic proportion: long enough to rest at the collarbone, short enough to layer or wear alone with equal ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pearls present with strong, deep luster and no visible chips or surface blemishes in our inspection. The 18k yellow gold clasp is a hallmark of Mikimoto's finishing work, featuring fine scrollwork engraving and enamel detail — the kind of artisan clasp treatment that distinguishes a Mikimoto strand from a generic pearl necklace. Silk knotting between each pearl is intact, the traditional method that both protects the pearls and ensures the strand drapes with the correct weight and fluidity. The piece comes with its original Mikimoto box and guarantee certificate, a meaningful provenance document that confirms authenticity straight from the source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 16-inch Mikimoto Akoya strand is one of the most enduringly correct jewelry choices a woman can own. It transitions from a boardroom lunch to a black-tie dinner without a second thought. For a first fine pearl necklace, a bridal gift, or an addition to an estate collection, this piece checks every box at a fraction of current retail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach piece is fully inspected and authenticated by Diamonds by Raymond Lee in Boca Raton.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mikimoto","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43710113316953,"sku":"W4782","price":2995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/9729\/3145\/files\/slot_2_a1d60bdb-e693-4a51-8e39-5735198c2923.jpg?v=1784821267","url":"https:\/\/diamondsbyraymondlee.com\/products\/mikimoto-18k-yellow-gold-akoya-pearl-strand-necklace-16","provider":"Diamonds By Raymond Lee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
