Among the Umihotaru pearls, those with a deep blue color and clearly defined, beautiful rainbow-like interference colors are rare, and this pearl beautifully showcases those distinctive features.
It has a striking size and an almost oval shape.
※What are Umihotaru pearls?
Natural-colored blue baroque Akoya pearls cultivated by one of Japan's leading pearl farms, which has been in business for 120 years in Tsushima, Nagasaki Prefecture.
Only pearls with a mystical blue color 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 oyster enter the nacre, producing beautiful interference colors. Because this color occurs by chance, it is rare and highly valuable to find a pearl with beautiful blue covering its entire surface.
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 make them less susceptible to color changes.
