Thinking about more pearls after re-watching the Downton Abbey series :biggrin:. I was impressed with the quality of my last non-designer strand, and am considering another strand in a long length.

My question to you pearl collectors, is there any reasonable reason to buy Mikimoto if I can find the same pearls for several thousand dollars less? (Apropos of nothing, I saw that SJP chose Mikimoto in the Sex and the City movie.) Does Mikimoto have so much cache that it is worth the extra expense. Trying to get my mindset right If anyone can help.

Love this thread! :heart: Playing with the idea of pearl and diamond earrings to go with my wedding dress. Thoughts on these beauties? Or other ideas? Am willing to spend a bit as they will be passed down in the family. https://www.mikimoto.co.uk/uk_en/les-petales-place-vendome-akoya-earring

They're gorgeous! Yoko London also have some amazing designs :loveeyes: and they have a shop in Knightsbridge if you’re in the UK. Their prices are also much better than Mikimoto, so you get much more for your money!

I was just at Mikimoto in NYC this weekend. The Place Vendôme collection is lovely. I think the Cherry Blossom collection would be beautiful too, which I am thinking of getting. https://www.mikimotoamerica.com/med...195b6a99964fcf26c8bd894a/m/e/mea10261ndxz.jpg

Ahhh I did not know of this brand! I am UK based so it would be very easy for me to go and have a look. Thank you for the advice :loveeyes:

Oh lovely! I do not see this on the UK website, but maybe they have in store :idea: I emailed them yesterday and asked about the diamond quality they use (F-G,VS) and the SA was so kind to send me pictures of the earrings as well as an additional pair also with diamonds
