Mikimoto and Chrome Hearts Release a 22K Gold Pearl Capsule, With a New York Flagship Rollout

Mikimoto, the Japanese pearl house, and Chrome Hearts have followed up their first jewelry collaboration with a second capsule, reported by Complex, Hypebeast and Bella in July 2026. It has five pieces, all in 22K yellow gold and set with Akoya pearls and natural diamonds, in a heavy-metal, gothic look.

The lineup is a cross pendant necklace, a bracelet that combines pearls with cross motifs, a safety-pin brooch and two styles of drop earrings. The centerpiece is the 22K Gold Cross Pearl Necklace, which pairs Chrome Hearts' floral cross hardware with Akoya pearls and diamonds. Taiwan's Bella also points to the brand's other signatures, including the CH Plus and the fleur-de-lis.

The material is the main change from the first drop, which was built on white gold. Complex says the switch to yellow gold gives the new pieces a richer, more antique feel. That first release had 14 pieces, among them a metal choker and drop earrings.

The partnership goes back to 2020, according to Complex, citing Dossier. Jesse Jo Stark, the eldest daughter of Chrome Hearts founders Richard and Laurie Lynn Stark, wanted to bring pearls into the brand's fine jewelry line. Richard Stark then suggested Mikimoto as the partner.

On availability, Complex, citing Hypebeast, says the collection is going out in extremely limited quantities. The venues are Chrome Hearts flagships in Tokyo, London and New York, and Mikimoto's Ginza Main Store in Tokyo. Bella describes it as launching first in Japan, at Chrome Hearts Aoyama and the Mikimoto Ginza 4-chome flagship, with designated stores in major cities worldwide to follow.

For Japanese readers, this is a pearl brand from Japan that gets a showing at the New York Chrome Hearts flagship. The pieces are limited, and none of the reports give prices.
