The Yoko London brand is synonymous with impeccable craftsmanship, innovation, and refined luxury in the world of pearl jewelry. Founded by Michael Hakimian in 1973, the company is rightfully considered a leader in the creation of pearl jewelry.

Pearls as an art form

What sets the brand apart is its incredible variety of pearls, ranging from classic white to rare golden and even pink hues. The Yoko London team sources pearls from the South Seas, Tahiti, Japan, and China, selecting only the finest specimens.

One of the brand’s key innovations lies in its unique methods of cutting and combining pearls with colored gemstones, resulting in ultra-modern designs. For example, Yoko London necklaces are not just jewelry but true works of art, with every element highlighting the natural beauty of the pearls.

When discussing pearls, comparisons with the Japanese brand Mikimoto are inevitable. Mikimoto, the pioneer of cultured pearls, is associated with classic elegance and a meticulous focus on perfect symmetry and refined designs. While Mikimoto embodies traditional sophistication, Yoko London boldly experiments with shapes, colors, and contemporary accents. These are two distinct perspectives on the art of pearls: Mikimoto pays homage to tradition, while Yoko London offers a daring vision of the future.

A symbol of elegance

Yoko London is the choice of not only royalty but also modern style icons. The brand’s pearl jewelry graces red carpets, fashion shows, and private events. Each piece tells its own story, remaining timeless and beyond trends. Michael Hakimian has created a brand that embodies modernity. His collections range from traditional pearl strands to asymmetrical earrings, statement rings, and minimalist bracelets. A keen attention to fashion trends ensures that Yoko London’s jewelry seamlessly complements contemporary styles.
