※About Umibotaru
"Umibotaru" are natural blue baroque Akoya pearls cultured by one of Japan's leading farmers, with a history of 120 years in Tsushima, Nagasaki Prefecture.
Only pearls with a mysterious blue, as if reflecting the sea of Tsushima, are given the name "Umibotaru" and certified as a pearl brand.
Natural blue Akoya pearls are created when organic components of the shell enter the nacre layers, producing beautiful interference colors. Since this color appears accidentally, it is rare and very valuable for the blue to appear beautifully and evenly across the entire pearl.
While natural blue Akoya pearls are said to be prone to color changes, "Umibotaru" pearls have thick nacre and deep colors, and undergo preservation processes under strict management to prevent color changes.

A collection offering unique and beautiful valuable pearls in screw-type jewelry.

【Nickel-Free】
The metal fittings (K18, PT900) are "nickel-free," made without any nickel, which is prone to causing metal allergies.
※This does not guarantee that no one will experience a metal allergy reaction (allergy-free). If you experience any skin abnormalities, discontinue use immediately and consult a specialist.
【Handling of Screw Parts】
This product has an "anti-loosening treatment" applied to the threaded part of the screw components.
※Some parts are untreated
By coating the threaded part with a thin, elastic film, this treatment suppresses screw loosening due to vibration through frictional force.
However, as it does not lock completely, the screw may loosen depending on the usage conditions.
When using, please ensure the screw is securely tightened before wearing, and periodically check for any loosening during wear for safer use.
This product uses K18 or Pt900.
Compared to materials like iron, its hardness is lower, so the screw part may wear out or be damaged depending on usage.
Please be careful not to apply excessive force upwards or downwards when screwing in the parts.
In the unlikely event that the screw part deteriorates and becomes difficult to use, please consult us. We will propose repair or remodeling options to use it as a different piece of jewelry.
Please contact us via the contact page on our website.

・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.
