*What is Umihotaru?
Natural blue baroque Akoya pearls cultivated by one of Japan's leading farmers, established over 120 years ago in Tsushima, Nagasaki Prefecture.
Only pearls with a mysterious blue, as if reflecting the sea of Tsushima, are named "Umihotaru" (sea firefly) and certified as a pearl brand.
The beautiful interference colors of Akoya pearls are created when organic components from the shell enter the nacre layer.
Natural blue color occurs accidentally, and it is rare and very valuable for it to cover the entire pearl so beautifully.
While natural blue Akoya pearls are said to be prone to color changes, "Umihotaru" pearls have a thick nacre layer and deep color, and undergo a preservation process under strict management to prevent color changes.
Customers who purchase Umihotaru pearls will receive a card certifying their authenticity.

【Exclusive Parts】※Exclusive parts are sold separately. Exclusive parts can be found here
We offer exclusive rings and earrings in K18 Yellow Gold or Pt900 to which COLLECTIBLE PEARLS can be attached.
A collection that offers unique and valuable pearls in screw-type jewelry.
The screw structure allows for a free combination of pearls and various base parts such as earrings and rings.
【Nickel-Free】
The metal fittings (K18, PT900) are "nickel-free," meaning they contain no nickel, which is a common cause of metal allergies.
*Please note that this does not guarantee that all individuals will be free from metal allergic reactions (allergy-free). If you experience any skin abnormalities, discontinue use immediately and consult a dermatologist.
【Handling of Screw Parts】
This product features "loosening prevention processing" on the screw threads of the screw parts.
*Some parts may not have this processing.
By coating the screw threads with a thin, elastic film, this processing uses friction to prevent the screws from loosening due to vibrations, etc.
However, it does not lock the screws, so there is a possibility of loosening depending on the usage situation.
When using, please ensure the screw is securely tightened before wearing, and periodically check for any loosening during wear for greater peace of mind.
This product uses K18 or Pt900.
Compared to materials like iron, these metals have lower hardness, so the screw part may wear down or be damaged depending on usage.
Please be careful not to apply excessive upward or downward force when screwing on the parts.
In the unlikely event that the screw part deteriorates and becomes difficult to use, please contact us. We will propose repairs or a remodeling plan to use it as a different piece of jewelry.
Please contact us via the contact page on our website.
【Precautions】
・When cleaning the metal parts, be careful not to touch the screw part or the pearl while polishing.
・Pearls may change color or crack if left in a high-temperature, high-humidity environment for a long time. Always store them in a place out of direct sunlight.
・Pearls are soft and easily scratched. Store them in a case separately from other accessories to prevent contact.
*Each pearl sometimes has blemishes and flaws on the surface which actually indicate that a pearl is authentic. *For any enquiries and further information about our products, please do not hesitate to contact us before the purchase. *The pearls and jewelries on the image may slightly differ from their actual color, texture and design due to the display resolution on different devices.
