【Pearl Details】
PQ (PRECIOUS PEARL QUALITY)
| NUMBER: SU58279 | ORIGIN: Tsushima, Japan |
| SHAPE: Baroque | SIZE: aprx.8-9mm |
| COLOR: Blue | GRADE [Luster]: Thick |
| GRADE [Luster]: AAA | GRADE [Scratches]: AAA |
A single pearl with a deep blue hue creates a beautiful iridescent play of color.
The size is approximately 8.9mm wide, 10.3mm high, and 8.3mm thick (including the mount).
This form, typical of baroque pearls, is well suited for stud earrings.
It has a beautiful luster from every angle, but it shines particularly brilliantly when light hits the surface (first photo), like ripples spreading across the water's surface.
※What is Umihotaru?
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 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 of the shell enter the nacre, producing beautiful interference colors. Since this color occurs accidentally, it is very rare and highly prized when the blue appears beautifully across the entire pearl.
Natural-colored blue Akoya pearls are known to be prone to color changes, but "Umihotaru" pearls havethick nacre and deep color, and undergo a storage process under strict management to prevent color changes.

【Nickel-Free】
The mounts (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 abnormalities, 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.
A thin, flexible film is coated on the screw threads to suppress screw loosening caused by vibration and other factors through friction.
However, since it does not lock the screw, the screw may still loosen depending on how it is used.
When using it, please tighten the screw securely before wearing it, and check occasionally while wearing it to see if it has loosened, for 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 down or become damaged depending on how it is used.
Please be careful not to apply too much force vertically when tightening 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 plan so that it can be used as a different piece of jewelry.
Please contact us via the contact page on the website.
