MIKIMOTO x Chrome Hearts reinvent pearl jewelry in 22K gold

Some collaborations bring together two brands. Others bring together two entirely different philosophies of luxury.

For the second chapter of their coveted partnership, MIKIMOTO and Chrome Hearts once again challenge expectations, proving that the timeless elegance of pearls can coexist effortlessly with the rebellious attitude of gothic design.

Following the success of their first capsule in white gold, the new collection introduces 22K yellow gold, giving each piece a richer, warmer character reminiscent of heirloom jewelry while reinforcing the handcrafted identity shared by both maisons.

The capsule seamlessly combines MIKIMOTO’s legendary Akoya pearls and natural diamonds with Chrome Hearts’ unmistakable visual language—defined by floral crosses, sculptural silverwork and rock-inspired symbolism.

The collection consists of five handcrafted creations: a statement cross pendant necklace, a Pearl & Cross bracelet, a safety pin brooch and two distinctive drop earring designs.

The standout piece is undoubtedly the 22K Gold Cross Pearl Necklace, where meticulously matched Akoya pearls meet pavé-set diamonds and Chrome Hearts’ iconic cross motif. The result feels neither traditionally classic nor overtly rebellious—it exists somewhere in between, redefining what contemporary high jewelry can look like.

At a time when luxury increasingly embraces unexpected creative partnerships, MIKIMOTO and Chrome Hearts demonstrate that craftsmanship remains the common language. One house has spent more than a century perfecting the world’s most celebrated cultured pearls, while the other has built a devoted following by transforming gothic iconography into collectible luxury.

Produced in extremely limited quantities, the second Chrome Hearts x MIKIMOTO capsule will be available through selected Chrome Hearts flagship boutiques in Tokyo, London and New York, as well as MIKIMOTO’s Ginza Main Store.

More than another luxury collaboration, this collection is a reminder that the future of high jewelry often lies in the most unexpected conversations.
