Inventions - Cultured pearls
As early as 1888, Japanese Kokichi Mikimoto (1858-1954) and his wife Ume opened their first pearl farm. But it took another five years before the first cultured pearl was produced on July 11, 1893, after many setbacks and a near-bankruptcy. In 1896, Mikimoto received his first patent for cultured pearls. He established his thriving business on Ojima Island and renamed it Pearl Island. His cultured pearls were indistinguishable from natural pearls and very soon captured the market. In 1924, the name "cultured pearl" was officially confirmed. - Today, almost all pearls used in jewelry are cultured.
