How should I take care of my jewellery?

Use a soft, dry cloth and gently wipe your jewellery to remove any perspiration or dirt after it has been worn. It is advisable to remove your jewellery when applying make-up, when cooking, when washing your face or when bathing.

How do I replace the battery of a watch or clock?

We recommend that you do not replace the battery on your own, as watches and clocks are mechanical objects. If you live overseas, take your watch or clock to a watch dealer for assistance. Please refer to the link below for watch battery numbers.

What is considered a repair?

These are common repair jobs:

  • Restringing your pearl strands and bracelets
  • Remounting pearls on rings, earrings, pendants and brooches
  • Resizing rings
  • Lengthening or shortening pearl strands, bracelets and pendant chains
  • Ordering lost earring backs or lost pearls
  • Converting pierced earrings to non-pierced or non-pierced to pierced (if applicable)
  • Matching half pair of earrings
How do I know that my pearl jewellery is Mikimoto?

You can always identify Mikimoto jewellery by our trademark, which is either the outline of an oyster or the Mikimoto name engraved on every jewel. This engraved mark can be found in the following locations:

  • Necklaces and bracelets: back of clasp. They are also fitted with a signature M charm. As the clasp is the only place in a strand or bracelet where the Mikimoto trademark is engraved, it is not possible to appraise a strand or a bracelet as genuine Mikimoto without it
  • Earrings: on post, earring nuts or back of earrings
  • Rings: inside the shank
  • Pendants: on the back of the bail
  • Brooches: on the underside of the brooch
