※What is Umihotaru?
Natural-colored blue baroque Akoya pearls cultivated 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 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 have thick nacre and deep color, and undergo a preservation process under strict management to make them less susceptible to color changes.
