※What is Umihotaru?
Umihotaru are natural-colored blue baroque Akoya pearls farmed 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 are certified as a single pearl brand.
Natural-colored blue Akoya pearls are created when organic components from the shell enter the nacre, producing beautiful interference colors. Because this color occurs accidentally, it is rare and highly valuable for the blue to appear beautifully across the entire pearl.
While natural-colored blue Akoya pearls are known to be prone to color changes, "Umihotaru" pearls have thick nacre and deep color, and undergo a preservation process under strict management to reduce color changes.

A collection of unique, beautiful, and valuable pearls offered in screw-in jewelry.
The screw-in design allows you to freely combine the pearl with various base parts such as earrings and rings.
【Nickel-Free】
The metal parts (K18, PT900) are "nickel-free," made without any nickel, which is known to cause metal allergies.
※This does not guarantee that everyone will be free from metal allergies. If you experience any skin irritation, please stop using the jewelry immediately and consult a specialist.
【Handling of Screw Parts】
This product features a "loosening prevention treatment" on the screw threads of the screw parts.
※Some parts are untreated.
A thin, flexible coating is applied to the screw threads to suppress screw loosening caused by vibration and other factors through friction.
However, because it does not lock the screws, they may loosen depending on how the jewelry is used.
For greater peace of mind, please ensure the screws are securely tightened before wearing the jewelry and check occasionally while wearing it to see if they have loosened.
This product is made of K18 or Pt900.
Because it is not as hard as materials such as iron, the screw parts may wear or become damaged depending on how the jewelry is used.
Please be careful not to apply excessive force vertically when tightening the screws.
If the screw parts deteriorate to the point where the jewelry becomes difficult to use, please contact us. We will offer repairs or a remake plan that allows you to use it as a different piece of jewelry.
Please contact us through the contact page on our website.
