BY LESLIE JORDAN CLARY

With a sensuous flow of pearls and diamonds, Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love, inspires Mikimoto’s latest piece of body jewelry—with a title of the same name. Akoya pearls are graduated to create a full silhouette of curvaceous lines that mimics the form and contours of the female figure. Scintillating diamonds highlight the piece, and a unique drop clasp with diamonds, pearls, and finished with a large White South Sea cultured pearl dangles down the back. With matching ring and earring, the new arrival is available at Mikimoto’s Bond Street store in London.
