Tomorrow (1 1) is the 27th anniversary of the birth of the first cultured pearl in history, which once again opens people's memory of Kokichi MIKIMOTO, the inventor and founder of jewelry brand Mikimoto. 1890 s, he was on the verge of extinction because the public rushed to catch natural pearls. And I met the noble Dr. Gizo Gaji and pointed out the feasibility of cultivating pearls, so I tried again and again in failure. Finally, on July 1893+0 1, the wife opened and found five hemispherical pearls, rewriting the history of pearls.
▲ Mr. Yusi of Mikimoto invented the pearl culture technology, which is known as "the king of pearls". He is also the founder of jewelry brand Mikimoto.
▲ On the occasion of the 85th anniversary of the invention of pearl culture technology, the painter Yi Shi Zhengyi painted "The Moment of Hope", which reappeared the moment when the successful pearl culture was first discovered by Yukio's wife in 1893.
In order to ensure the quality of mother-shellfish, Mikimoto has adopted the method of "artificial seedling selection" to breed mother-shellfish for two to three years. It takes a long time for the mother shellfish to recover their physical strength after being sliced and inserted into the core and then put into the sea for cultivation. In addition to cleaning up surface organisms or floating mud, we should always pay attention to the changes of temperature and environment. For example, in winter, the water temperature is lower than 10 degrees.
▲ Mikimoto Pearl Island is located in Yi Shi Bay, Bird Feather, Mie Prefecture, the hometown of Uji.
▲ The red tide that cultured pearls are most afraid of is coming.
Mikimoto Jixing invented pearl culture technology. 127 years later, Mikimoto is committed to sustainable development and cooperates with many research institutions to achieve the goal of harmonious coexistence with nature. As early as 1933, Yumu had set up a research center in Pearl Island, Yi Shi Bay, Niaoya, Mie Prefecture, Japan, and cooperated with Kyushu University in Japan to develop a "Kay Language" system to master the growth and marine environment of mother shellfish. In 2000, the larvae of pure domestic natural pearl oyster were found in the outlying islands of Xuanjietan, Fukuoka Prefecture, so the brand joined hands with Kyushu University, Fukuoka Prefecture and Shinonomachi to start the first natural pearl oyster breeding business in Japan in 2007, with zero emissions and environmental protection.
▲ Mother-shells and pearls carefully cultivated by Mikimoto.
▲ Carefully select pearls with the same size and luster to form a necklace.
Every cultured pearl has been carefully selected before it can be put into Mikimoto's design. From the latest work "Logo Pendant Pearl", we can see that pearls exude beautiful luster charm. Brand English letters made of precious metal or pure silver are matched with a single pearl representing "O", which is young and lively and is a good choice for getting started with the highest brand awareness.
▲ Mikimoto new Logo pendant pearl bracelet (top-down) 18K gold model is 42,000 yuan, 18K platinum model is 50,000 yuan, and 18K pink model is 47,000 yuan.
