- Points to check before purchasing
By watching until the end, you will understand how to choose Mikimoto pearls that you will not regret.
Finding a balance between price and quality
Mikimoto pearls are priced higher because their quality is guaranteed. Therefore, in order to make the most satisfying choice within your budget, it is important to be aware of the balance between "size," "luster," and "coil."
Even if the stones are not large, by choosing ones with strong luster, you can keep the price down while maintaining a luxurious feel.
Choose the size and design that best suits your needs
For everyday jewelry, we recommend small pearls of 6mm to 7mm. On the other hand, for formal occasions, necklaces with pearls of 8mm or more are appropriate. When selecting items such as earrings and rings, it is a good idea to consider the design and the occasion in which you will be wearing them.
Points to check before purchasing
When purchasing Mikimoto pearls, it is important to check in advance whether there is a warranty, the maintenance service, and the return and exchange policy. Especially when purchasing expensive items, choosing a store with comprehensive after-sales service will allow you to use the product for a long time with peace of mind.
