“I would like to adorn the necks of all women around the world with pearls.”<\/i><\/b><\/span>Kokichi Mikimoto<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/span>
In 1893 Kokichi Mikimoto developed the process to “culture” a semi-spherical pearl, followed by his achieving a spherical pearl in 1905, a process which brought stunning pearls to the masses. Prior to the culturing process it could take years to complete a single strand of pearls. Hence the saying “the Queen of Gems and the Gem of Queens”, as it was only Royalty that could afford a strand.<\/span>
