※What is Umiobotaru?
Natural-colored blue baroque Akoya pearls cultivated by one of Japan's leading pearl farms, which has been operating for 120 years in Tsushima, Nagasaki Prefecture.
Only pearls with a mysterious blue that seems to reflect the sea of Tsushima are named "Umiobotaru" and are certified as a single pearl BRAND.
The beautiful interference colors of Akoya pearls are created when organic components of the shell enter the nacre.
Natural-colored blue is an accidental color, so it is rare and very precious to appear beautifully covering the entire pearl.
Natural-colored blue Akoya pearls are said to be prone to color changes, but "Umiobotaru" are pearls that have a thick nacre and deep color, and undergo a preservation process under a strict management system to prevent color changes.
Those who purchase them will receive a card proving that they are Umiobotaru.

【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 not have a metal allergy reaction (allergy-free). If you feel any abnormality on your skin, please stop using it immediately and consult a specialist.
【Handling of Screw Parts】
This product has a "loosening prevention treatment" applied to the screw threads of the screw parts.
※Some parts are untreated
It is a treatment that coats the screw threads with a thin, elastic film to suppress the loosening of the screw due to vibration through friction.
However, since it does not lock it, depending on the conditions of use, the screw may loosen.
When using, please fasten the screw firmly before wearing it, and check occasionally while wearing it to see if it has loosened, so that you can use it with greater peace of mind.
This product uses K18 or Pt900.
Because it is not as hard as materials such as iron, the screw part may wear out or break depending on the conditions of use.
Please use it carefully so that too much force is not applied up and down when turning the screw.
If it becomes difficult to use due to deterioration of the screw part, please contact us, and we will offer a repair or a remake proposal so that you can use it as a different piece of jewelry.
Please contact us from the contact page on the website.
