No collection of fine jewelry is complete without a strand of pearls. Instead of opting for a traditional white strand or relying on mom’s standby again, why not make this staple an unusual, distinctive, and extraordinary part of your wardrobe? Few designers will offer you the selection, quality, and renown of Mikimoto. The name Mikimoto has become synonymous with beautiful pearls since Kokichi Mikimoto opened the first store bearing his name in 1899. The Strand Lariat Necklace from Mikimoto’s “Grandeur” Collection, a stunning reflection of the jeweler’s commitment to pure elegance, is sure to be a prized piece in any wardrobe.
The necklace, made of Black South Sea cultured pearls that graduate in color along the strand, is remarkable in its versatility as well as its beauty. It features 18-carat white gold and a 4.88-carat diamond clasp that can be fastened around any of the pearls to allow the wearer a variety of options in length and arrangement.
The Strand Lariat Necklace is available through Shreve & Company in San Francisco, 415-421-2600. For more information about this and other pieces by Mikimoto, visit
