Some beauty can only be understood when you see where it begins.
We visited Uwajima, Ehime — one of Japan’s most respected Akoya pearl farming regions — and listened to the stories and dedication of the people who help carry this tradition forward.
As Japanese jewelers in San Francisco, the experience reminded us that Akoya pearls are more than jewelry. They are a cultural treasure of Japan, shaped by nature, craftsmanship, patience, and generations of devotion.
At Miseki Jewelry, every pearl strand we offer is carefully examined by hand through the eyes of pearl jewelry professionals. Only the pieces we feel proud to recommend are placed in our store.
We also restring over 300 pearl necklaces each year, one by one, with care — honoring not only the beauty of pearls, but also the people and traditions behind them.
No two pearls are ever the same. Their luster, color, shape, and quiet beauty are something you can truly feel only in person.
We invite you to visit Miseki Jewelry in San Francisco Japantown and experience the beauty of Japanese Akoya pearls with your own eyes.
