Carrie carries Mikimoto pearls

Whilst the movie of 'Sex and the City' turns out to be more of an 2hrs lenght advertisement space, brands still love to be associated with Carrie Bradshaw's fashion sense. The release of Japanese pearl brand Mikimoto tell us that since the film's release, news outlets have called Carrie's Mikimoto necklace the signature accessory in the movie and a major fashion trend. Carrie Bradshaw played by Sarah Jessica Parker, wears a Mikimoto opera-length cultured pearl necklace to replace her signature nameplate necklace in the SatC film.

Renowned for developing a technique for the cultivation of pearls, Mikimoto is founded by Kokichi Mikimoto in 1893. Today, almost all pearls sold worldwide are cultured pearls, cultivated by the same technique that Kokichi Mikimoto invented. The family-run business remains the world leader in superior-quality Akoya and South Sea cultured pearls and the company is internationally respected for its product design, crafting techniques and strict quality control.

Carrie Bradshaw wears the pearl strand while announcing her engagement to Chris Noth a.k.a 'Mr. Big', and is prominently shown in the scene where, while seated at her computer pondering feelings about love, she twirls the strand around her fingertips. The 8-8.5mm Akoya cultured pearl necklace, 32-inches long, with the brand's signature clasp in 18K gold retails for £6,760 and is available at Mikimoto stores and authorized retailers nationwide.
