※What is Umihotaru?
Natural-colored blue baroque Akoya pearls cultivated by one of Japan's leading pearl farms, which has been operating in Tsushima, Nagasaki Prefecture for 120 years.
Only pearls with a mystical blue that seems to reflect the sea of Tsushima are named "Umihotaru" and certified as a single pearl BRAND.
Natural-colored blue Akoya pearls are created when organic components of the shell enter the nacre, producing beautiful interference colors. Since this color occurs accidentally, it is rare and highly valuable for the blue to appear beautifully covering the entire pearl.
While natural-colored blue Akoya pearls are said to be prone to color changes, "Umihotaru" pearls have thick nacre and deep colors, and undergo a preservation process under strict management to prevent color changes.
