Two collections blend traditional techniques with a modern sensibility.
Dating back to around the 17th century in Europe, a set of matching jewelry made with the same designs and materials was called a "parure." "Cortège" is MIKIMOTO's infusion of contemporary aesthetics into this concept.
Two sets are offered. The first, inspired by the theme of MIKIMOTO's 120th anniversary of pearl invention, "DREAMS&PEARLS ~Weaving Radiance Through Time~," features a necklace adorned with delicate flowers symbolizing "dream flowers," with pearls of varying sizes strung rhythmically, accompanied by a pin brooch with intricate openwork and earrings. The pin brooch can also be used as a pendant top, making this a versatile set for any occasion.

Jewelry Set
Price: ¥1,365,000
Contents: Necklace, pin brooch, pendant top/pin brooch,
earrings (or pierced earrings)

Jewelry Set
Price: ¥1,680,000

The second set features a modern design with two pendants, a brooch, and earrings or ear clips, incorporating traditional techniques like milgrain and openwork, accented with the black of cloisonné and onyx. The luxurious tassel can be detached, allowing for unique coordination tailored to personal style and occasion.
The elegance derived from coordinated sets and the individuality born from diverse combinations. These elegant total coordination jewelry pieces, created by a brand steeped in history, are sure to enhance the wearer's sophisticated intellect and grace, making the modern woman shine even brighter.
