*What is "Umihotaru"?
A natural blue baroque Akoya pearl, cultivated by a leading domestic farmer with 120 years of history in Tsushima, Nagasaki Prefecture.
Only pearls with a mysterious blue color, as if reflecting the sea of Tsushima, are named "Umihotaru" and certified as a pearl brand.
The beautiful interference colors of Akoya pearls are created when organic components of the shell enter the nacre layer.
Natural blue colors occur sporadically, so it is rare and very valuable for them to appear beautifully covering the entire pearl.
Natural blue Akoya pearls are considered susceptible to color change, but "Umihotaru" pearls have a thick nacre layer and deep color, and undergo a preservation process under strict management to minimize color change.
Customers who purchase Umihotaru pearls will receive a card certifying their authenticity.

【Dedicated Parts】*Dedicated parts are sold separately. Dedicated parts can be found here

A collection that offers unique and valuable pearls as screw-type jewelry.
The screw structure allows for a free combination of pearls and various base parts such as earrings and rings.
【Nickel-free】
The metal fittings (K18, PT900) are "nickel-free," made without any nickel, which is a common cause of metal allergies.
*This does not guarantee that no one will experience a metal allergic reaction (allergy-free). If you experience any skin abnormalities, discontinue use immediately and consult a dermatologist.
【Regarding the handling of screw parts】
This product has an "anti-loosening treatment" applied to the screw threads of the screw parts.
*Some parts are untreated
By coating the screw threads with a thin, elastic film, this treatment uses friction to prevent the screws from loosening due to vibration or other factors.
However, as it does not lock the screws, there is a possibility that they may loosen depending on the conditions of use.
When using, please ensure the screws are tightened securely before wearing, and periodically check for any loosening during wear to ensure safer use.
This product uses K18 or Pt900.
Compared to materials like iron, these metals are not as hard, so the screw parts may wear down or break depending on the usage conditions.
Please be careful not to apply excessive upward or downward force when screwing on the parts.
In the unlikely event that the screw parts deteriorate and become difficult to use, please contact us. We will propose repair options or ideas for remaking them into different jewelry pieces.
Please contact us via the contact page on our website.
【Precautions】
・When cleaning the metal parts, be careful not to touch the screw part or the pearl.
・Pearls can change color or crack if left in a hot and humid environment for a long time. Always store them in a place out of direct sunlight.
・Pearls are soft and easily scratched. Store them in a case, separate from other accessories, to prevent contact.
*Each pearl sometimes has blemishes and flaws on the surface which actually indicate that a pearl is authentic. *For any enquiries and further information about our products, please do not hesitate to contact us before the purchase. *The pearls and jewelries on the image may slightly differ from their actual color, texture and design due to the display resolution on different devices.
