Three Mikimoto sterling silver Akoya pearl brooches represent a trio of pieces from the house that created the cultured pearl industry. Kokichi Mikimoto's perfection of cultured pearl production in the early 20th century transformed pearl ownership from an aristocratic privilege to a broader luxury, and the house's sterling silver settings for its pearls represent understated Japanese design at its finest. Three matching brooches suggests a deliberately assembled set with coordinated value.
