The snow seen from Japan in a new collection by Mikimoto ♦
The snow in Japan is as light as the one that falls in the United States or in the Swiss Alps. And for this it enchants in the same way. But of course, Japanese sensitivity is even more delicate. An example is the collection dedicated to snow by Mikimoto, a Japanese Maison famous for its pearls. Like most Japanese Mikimoto has a special focus on nature. The Maison’s founder, Mikimoto Kamamuri, wanted to protect nature and be inspired by creative sources from the Japanese environment to transform the beauty of the universe into the art of jewelry. Pearls, another natural element, are a perfect element, with gold and diamonds. With this collection Mikimoto has captured snowflakes, using pearls and gold worked with an embroidery that incorporates the geometry of the crystals. And, next to the poetry of the snow, a tribute to Christmas: a Western festival that, however, also like in the East. Margherita Donato
