A SPLASH

OF THE SEA

Mikimoto’s new high

jewelry collection “Splash”

draws inspiration from the

energy of the sea. The

delicate designs spray

Akoya pearls and

diamonds outward like

water droplets from the

center of each piece.

A classic 20in pearl

necklace has a

detachable pearl and

diamond brooch; a single

pendant hangs from a

simple chain for a more

contemporary look; a

pair of earrings and a

dramatic ring complete

the suite. All are set in

18kt white gold. POA,
