*About Umihotaru pearls
Natural blue baroque Akoya pearls cultivated by one of Japan's leading pearl farmers with 120 years of history in Tsushima, Nagasaki Prefecture.
Only pearls with a mysterious blue color, as if reflecting the sea of Tsushima, are named "Umihotaru" and certified as a single pearl brand.
Naturally blue Akoya pearls are created when organic components of the shell penetrate the nacre layers, producing beautiful interference colors. Since this color appears accidentally, it is rare and highly valuable for the blue to beautifully cover the entire pearl.
Naturally blue Akoya pearls are known to be prone to color change, but "Umihotaru" pearls have thick nacre and a deep color, and undergo a preservation process under strict management to prevent color change.
