Edible Pearls: Mikimoto-Inspired Wedding Cake

As you plan your wedding day, one of the most delectable details is the cake tasting. There is a wide variety of cake designs and flavors to choose from, and we were thrilled to come across a cake on “The Bride’s Guide” from Martha Stewart Weddings that was inspired by one of our favorite brands, Mikimoto.

Maggie LaBaugh, chef and owner of MagPie’s Cake in Washington, D.C., has created an exquisite black pearl cake that illustrates elegance, detail, and sophistication with its white fondant, black “pearls” and weathered “shell.”





"For hundreds of years, the Black South Sea pearl has been revered as one of nature's most exquisite and rare creations. When Kokichi Mikimoto opened his first pearl shop in 1899, the cultured treasures were put into reach at last,” says LaBaugh. “This cake, like the oyster itself, is a study in contrast: shimmering black spheres tumble from the rough, weathered shell perched on smooth white fondant. Take a bite! It's all sugar..."

If you’d rather wear your pearls instead of eat them, King Jewelers offers a wide selection of Mikimoto pearls, including earrings, necklaces, and rings featuring Black South Sea pearls. They also make great gifts for your bridal party!

King Jewelers is proud to announce the arrival of the MIKIMOTO pearly jewelry collections in Nashville, TN. King Jewelers Nashville concentrates on Mikimoto’s Akoya, Black South Sea, Pearls in Motion, Moderna 8, as well as MIKIMOTO’s Everday Essential collections.

In 1893, Kokichi Mikimoto succeeded in producing the world's first cultured pearl. Since that day, MIKIMOTO continues to make history, creating its own distinctive style. Through mastery, aesthetics and a consuming fascination with quality, Kokichi Mikimoto made cultured pearls one of the world's most prevalent fashion accessories. It was Kokichi's dream "to adorn the necks of all the women of the world with pearls." His dream is expressed in the signature quality and elegance of today's MIKIMOTO Pearl Jewelry Collections.

MIKIMOTO has developed the highest standards of quality and consistency by devoting more than a century to understanding the sea and researching the oyster. While luster, pearl quality, surface perfection, color, shape and size are standard factors for pearl grading, the MIKIMOTO pearl grading scale is the only qualified system which accurately and consistently defines these factors by four individual grade categories. Only the top 5% of the pearl harvest meets the strict quality standards of MIKIMOTO.

Mikimoto pearls make great gifts for Mother's Day, graduation, and any special occasion. King Jewelers is an authorized dealer for Mikimoto pearls. Shop on-line with confidence for authentic Mikimoto pearls at http://www.kings1912.com/ or visit www.MikimotoAmerica.com.

Professional Tips for Pearl Jewelry Care

Daily Care
If substances such as cosmetics, hair spray, or perfume adhere to your jewels, they will lose their radiance, absorbing dirt and dust and causing alteration or loss of colour. Be sure to put on your jewelry after you do your make-up, and to wipe your jewelry with a soft cloth after use.

Maintenance

No matter how carefully you take care of your jewelry, small parts may come loose. We recommend that you carefully check such parts as the hooks that support the jewels, the clasps of necklaces, the screws of earrings and brooch pins.

Storage

Always fasten clasps and pins so that chains do not get tangled and jewels do not get scratched from rubbing against one another. Then lay each item out separately, one by one. If you carry your jewelry around, be sure to put it into a jewelry pouch.

Cleaning

If you feel that the radiance of your jewelry has diminished, take it to a specialist. Cleaning with ultrasonic cleanser and other methods may lead to damage, so we recommend caution.
