AN OYSTER CULT

Just in time for Valentine's Day, Mikimoto at South Coast Plaza hosts trunk shows today and Thursday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., featuring an exclusive array of new designs from its popular Milano Collection.

Lisa Broggian, the Milan-based designer of the Milano Collection, makes a guest appearance to discuss the new designs. Her sleek and sophisticated collection gives a modern edge to pearl jewelry. Her signature is sensuous lines of gold combined with the smooth characteristics of cultured pearls. (Private consultations with Broggian can be arranged.)

Since 1893 Mikimoto's name has been synonymous with the highest quality, cultured pearls and jewelry. That's when founder Kokichi Mikimoto developed the first cultured pearl.

Today the world's premiere cultured pearl company designs beautiful jewelry collections. Striking collections include Akoya, Vintage, Elements of Life, Pearls in Motion, South Sea and Tahitian.

Open 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday to Friday; 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday; 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Sunday. Level 1, at South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa. 714.424.5440.
