Pearls have adorned brides for thousands of years. From the Ancient Greek women who walked down the aisle wearing pearls in tribute to Aphrodite, goddess of love, to Queen Victoria, whose influence cemented pearls as the quintessential bridal jewel in British tradition, they have long been associated with purity, harmony and enduring love.

Elegant, timeless and almost otherworldly in their beauty, pearls remain at the heart of modern bridal style. From classic strands to contemporary designs, these luminous gems continue to captivate more than 120 years after Kokichi Mikimoto revolutionised jewellery with the creation of the world’s first cultured pearls.


Stocking the latest collections from the celebrated jeweller, Michael Spiers showcases an exquisite selection of Mikimoto designs, each one destined to become a treasured heirloom. Crafted using the finest Akoya pearls, every piece is renowned for its exceptional lustre and impeccable craftsmanship.

Choose from delicate pearl studs and fine chain bracelets to striking pearl-and-diamond necklaces, alongside contemporary designs including the Bubble pearl necklace, V Code and M Code pearl drop earrings, and sea-inspired pearl and blue sapphire rings and bracelets. Whether your bridal style is understated or statement-making, there’s a design to suit every bridal aesthetic.

For brides drawn to the symbolism of pearls, celebrating June’s birthstone or simply seeking enduring elegance, Mikimoto’s beautifully crafted designs are made to be worn and loved long after the wedding day.
