At 40-years old Hello Kitty maybe a middle aged kitty, but she refuses to get tied to a number.
In fact her life begins at forty with a big bash thrown in her honor by two of Japan’s well-known brands. The adorable white cat, we always see dressed in baby pink and a big bow celebrates her birthday with a jewelry collection of almost 20 pieces. The collection is a collaboration between Hello Kitty parent company and the luxury jeweler Mikimoto.
The centerpiece of the collection is the Mikimoto x Hello Kitty tiara, which is a one-off item and not for sale will be used to showcase Mikimoto’s craftsmanship. Its elaborate design features a Hello Kitty shaped entirely from diamonds including her face from oval-cut diamond, claws for the whiskers and ears from a pair of trilliant-cut diamonds. Two strawberry-shaped lockets reveal portraits of Kitty and her darling partner, Daniel.
