The new Mikimoto Boutique at the Dubai Mall

Recently opened in The Dubai Mall’s new Fashion Avenue extension, the latest Mikimoto boutique showcases beautiful jewels with its interior design inspired by the “Yaguruma” clip.

Crafted from Akoya cultured pearls, sapphires, emeralds and diamonds, the “Yaguruma” sash clip was first exhibited at the 1937 World Exposition in Paris. Due to its revolutionary design, the clip could also be worn as twelve interchangeable jewels, including brooches, rings, and hair ornaments.

It was given the name “Yaguruma” (meaning “Wheels of Arrows”) due to its radiating design of sapphires and diamonds around a central Akoya cultured pearl. Today Mikimoto looks to this geometric style for the “Yaguruma” jewellery collection, as well as the interior design for their worldwide stores that includes that of the latest boutique in The Dubai Mall.

Jewels from Mikimoto feature the beautiful pearls that the brand is famous for, since founder and “The Pearl King” Kokichi Mikimoto first successfully created cultured pearls in 1893. Today the jewellery house still produces pearls cultivated by the same technique he invented, including Japanese Akoya pearls, Tahitian black pearls, and South Sea pearls from Australia, Indonesia and The Philippines.

These are mounted within fine jewellery designs with a blend of diamonds and coloured gems, with collections now available at the Dubai Mall boutique.
