※What is Umihotaru?
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 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, creating beautiful interference colors. Since this color appears accidentally, it is rare and very precious for the blue to appear beautifully covering the entire pearl.
Natural-colored blue Akoya pearls are said to be prone to color changes, but "Umihotaru" isa pearl that has a thick nacre layer and a deep color, and undergoes a preservation process under a strict management system to prevent color changes.
