Mikimoto’s newest collection, Les Pétales, makes its debut at Paris Haute Couture Week, drawing poetic inspiration from rose petals drifting gently through Parisian air before settling on the iconic Place Vendôme. Across more than 40 finely wrought pieces, the Maison captures the fleeting elegance of blossoming florals in mid‑motion.

Akoya cultured pearls — Mikimoto’s enduring signature — intertwine with coloured gemstones like tourmaline, morganite, sapphires, and rare South Sea and conch pearls. Each element is meticulously set within 18‑karat white, rose, and yellow gold to evoke petals floating, caught in a whispering breeze.

Signature Pieces: Highlights of the Collection

The Les Pétales Brooch

A striking composition crowned by a natural conch pearl, framed by sapphire and diamond petals in white gold. It beautifully freezes the moment two roses bloom and disperse their shimmering shards into the air.

Statement Necklaces & Bracelets

Flowing collars feature strands of Akoya pearls overlaid with gold petals and scattered diamond sparks—as if wind‑borne blossoms are suspended mid‑trail. The bracelet design veils the wrist in a lace‑like cascade of pearls, sculpted petals and delicate metalwork.

Rings and Earrings

Pieces like the head‑turning rose‑shaped ring combine White South Sea pearl centres with diamond petals, symbolising the subtle tremor of drifting petals. Complementary earrings extend the theme in luxurious rhythm and symmetry.

Headpiece

A visionary highlight: petals sculpted in 18K white gold on a floral crown, transitioning into elegant trails of Akoya pearls and shimmering gemstones — an haute‑couture crown for modern romanticism.

The Craft of Ephemeral Grace

This collection exemplifies Mikimoto’s mastery over form and movement. The brand envisions a poetic scene: “rose petals flutter gently on the wind,” immortalising that instant in precious material—for eternity. It’s a testament to a Maison that continues to elevate pearl couture through unparalleled refinement.

Why Les Pétales Resonates

• Nature Reimagined: Petals in mid‑motion become jewellery; the ephemeral becomes eternal.

• Gemstone Alchemy: A fusion of legacy (Akoya pearls) and bold new accents—conch pearls, morganite, tourmaline, sapphires—infuses each piece with fresh luminosity.

• Haute‑Couture Aesthetic: Each work feels sculpted and staged—not just worn—with couture sensibility and poetic drama.

In Our Style & Voice

Gentle yet confident, poetic yet sharp. In Les Pétales, Mikimoto delivers a collection that’s both a narrative and an object: jewellery as storytelling. With fluid lines and textures that suggest air and breeze, the collection is delicate without compromise—silken petals rendered through peerless pearl craftsmanship.

Final Note

Mikimoto’s Les Pétales collection is more than jewellery: it’s a choreography in pearls and petals, a tribute to nature’s fleeting beauty captured in precious design. As couture closes and the petals fall, the pieces remain—proud, elegant, unforgettable.
