Mikimoto and Chrome Hearts Blend Aesthetics in New Collaboration
The “Mikimoto Chrome Hearts” jewelry brings pearls from Mikimoto together with distinctive motifs from Chrome Hearts.

The “Mikimoto Chrome Hearts” collection came about when Chrome Hearts wanted to begin integrating pearl elements into its fine jewelry.
Chrome Hearts was founded in 1988 by Richard Stark and Laurie Lynn Stark, who now work alongside their children Jesse Jo Stark, Frankie Belle Stark, and Kristian Stark.
In 2020, eldest daughter Jesse Jo wanted to begin using pearls because she had always been deeply drawn to pearls for their ability to be both classically beautiful and radically rebellious at the same time, said the brand.
She also believes that the material holds the power of divine femininity and wanted to highlight that part of her family’s brand.
When she brought the idea to the family, her father Richard said, “if it’s pearls, it has to be Mikimoto.”
Together, Jesse Jo and the Mikimoto artisans conceptualized and created pieces in 18-karat white gold with diamonds and Akoya and white South Sea pearls.
Each design combines Mikimoto’s pearls with Chrome Hearts’ distinctive motifs.
“In blending Mikimoto pearls with Chrome Hearts’ bold designs, we’re not just creating jewelry; we’re challenging preconceptions about what luxury means in today’s global culture,” said Yasuhiko Hashimoto, COO of Mikimoto.
“This collection speaks to a world were artistry, self-expression, and individuality are paramount, pushing the boundaries of tradition while celebrating the freedom to be unique.”

The collaboration celebrates the fusion of contrasting aesthetics, embodying the spirit of innovation and artistic expression that defines both brands, said Mikimoto.
The Mikimoto Chrome Hearts collection is made of two parts, one is a core collection of eleven pieces including earrings, necklaces, pendants, bracelets, and a pin brooch.
The second part is an exclusive collection of four intricately hand-crafted necklaces, each being only two-of-a-kind.
One of each piece is available in the U.S. and the other overseas.
The Mikimoto Chrome Hearts collaborative collection is available exclusively at Chrome Hearts’ stores in New York, Aoyama, Tokyo, and London, as well as Mikimoto’s locations in Tokyo, New York, and Hong Kong.
