A single pearl with a stronger pink color than the characteristic turquoise blue of Umihotaru.
Under strong light such as direct sunlight or on white clothing, it appears as a pale turquoise color wrapped in pink, but on dark colors such as black clothing, the pink interference color envelops the entire pearl.
※What is Umihotaru?
Natural-colored blue baroque Akoya pearls farmed by one of Japan's leading pearl farms, which has been operating for 120 years in Tsushima, Nagasaki Prefecture.
Only pearls with a mystical blue that seems to reflect the sea of Tsushima are given the name "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 beautiful when the blue covers the entire pearl.
Natural-colored blue Akoya pearls are said to be prone to color changes, but "Umihotaru" are pearls with thick nacre and deep colors that undergo a preservation process under a strict management system to prevent color changes.
