The best in the pearl industy. Makimoto pearl commands a premium over most pearl (sometimes as much as triple the price) due to its luster. In the Chinese Fengshui, it is a lucky jewelry to wear (especially for those born in the summer, ie. May 8 to August 8). Purported to increase the water element in one's life.
