YOKO London jewellery has spent decades designing and creating contemporary pearl statement pieces. As a measure of its success, several of its most impressive luxury jewellery items are included in the Pearls exhibition at the V&A. Known for sourcing the most unusual and precious pearls in the world, founder Michael Hakimian and his family travel the globe countless times each year to seek rare-coloured South Sea pearls, which must meet their demanding criteria for the perfect size, colour and lustre.
