" Can someone please verify company Fuji Pearls Ginza Tokyo closed down at the onset of WWII?"

I am holding a necklace and earrings set, in a fine red velvet box with blue velvet interior marked Fuji pearl Cultured Pearl Ginza Tokyo.

This set was bought by my father in 1959 and shipped home to my mom along with numerous other pearls by mikimoto.

Matching Bracelet
by: Anonymous

I have the matching bracelet. It is a 3 stranded bracelet with 'silver' on the clasp. I can't find it anywhere is my online search and was wondering if anyone had any info on it. I took it to a jeweler but all he would say is it would take the right buyer to purchase and never gave me a estimate of its worth.

Good Afternoon Ashleigh!

Congratulations! What a great bargain!


Fuji Pearl Co. of Ginza Japan were contemporaries of Mikimoto and setup shop in the upmarket Ginza district of central Tokyo, like Mikimoto. Ginza is packed with brand name stores and some of the most expensive land in Japan. In 1941?? (needs more research) the company was closed by the Japanese Military at the onset of the Pacific war.

I would date these pearls to the 1930s in which decade the perfectly spherical pearls had reached global recognition and the 1920s vogue for long dangling strings of pearls went out of fashion, replaced by the shorter, double row of pearls that fitted more around the neck.

To verify the box is the original to the pearls (& for your peace of mind) the Fuji Pearls would indeed be marked "silver" as opposed to 925 or Sterling. The pearls will be Japanese Akoya pearls and appear round with white body colour & quite possibly a pink orient.
(instore appraisal highly recommended) They look very lustrous and well matched and no surprise you love wearing them!

I would conservatively value these at around $750 - depending on the condition and size of the pearls.


Thank you Ashleigh for writing in to us!
