Announcement
❤️ Welcome and thank you for visiting our shop! ❤️
MIKUKUMI [read as ME-KU-KU-ME] carries different types of high-quality but affordable hand-made jewelry. We are especially known for our gold-filled jewelry.
What is gold-filled jewelry?
Gold filled is a solid layer of gold mechanically bonded to a base metal, which can be brass, copper, or other metal. It is 60-100x thicker than standard gold-plated jewelry and therefore lasts a lot longer. They can withstand regular fresh-water showers without an issue, unlike gold-plated jewelry.
US gold-filled standards require the gold layer to consist of 1/20th (or 5%) of the jewelry’s total weight, while the South American gold-filled gold content is 1/33th (or 3%). Our products are hypo-allergenic, nickel, and lead-free.
We carry 14K US-made gold-filled jewelry for daintier items and also 18K South American gold-filled items for the more substantial items to keep the price affordable while remaining of high quality. Since there is 40% less gold content in the South American pieces, longevity will not be as long as our US-made gold-filled items.
Unfortunately, not all jewelry components are available in gold-filled and we may need to include non-gold-filled items. We are always transparent in listing this information in our product descriptions.
We hope that you will love our products as much as we do. Feel free to drop us an email with questions or comments. If you made a purchase and experience an issue, please do not hesitate to let us know. Rest assured that we will take care of you.
Yours,
MIKUKUMI

4 out of 5 starsI ordered the 20” rope chain. My neck is about 15”-15.5” for reference. My everyday chain is an 18”, but always felt like it was a little too short or up too high on my neck so I went to a 20” for this necklace. Upon trying this one on it is still a little too high but I figured it would be fine for some outfits, but I did order a second one in a 24” chain as well to help with an elongated look for some outfits. I love that there isn’t just some long extender to make up for the sizing, since my necklaces always get turned around it just gets annoying. Thankfully that is not an issue with this piece. However, I was surprised by the size of the charm. I did think it was going to be a little larger from other photos and a little more weighted. Overall I still really like the necklace.

5 out of 5 starsHeavier and better quality than I thought it would be. The initial is perfectly straight. The gold flat bead necklace has a great shine. The pearl background of the initial pendant is so much prettier in person. I love it!
