This is a small, 6mm "Umihotaru" (sea firefly) pearl. Its baroque, uniquely distorted form is attractive, with a deep blue color and yellow and pink overtones. The lustrous sheen is incredibly beautiful, and its color, which changes with the angle, offers a different expression each time you look at it.
*What is Umihotaru?
Natural blue baroque Akoya pearls cultured by one of Japan's leading farmers, operating for 120 years in Tsushima, Nagasaki Prefecture. Only pearls with a mysterious blue color, as if reflecting the sea of Tsushima, are named "Umihotaru" (Sea Firefly) and certified as a unique pearl brand. The beautiful interference color of Akoya pearls is created when organic components of the shell enter the nacre layer. Natural blue colors are accidental occurrences, so it is rare and very valuable for them to beautifully cover the entire pearl. While natural blue Akoya pearls are said to be prone to color change, "Umihotaru" pearls have a thick nacre layer and deep color, undergoing preservation processes under strict management to prevent color change. For those who purchase, we include a card proving it is an Umihotaru pearl. You can view an interview with the producers of Umihotaru here.

【Nickel-Free】
The metal fittings (K18, PT900) are "nickel-free," meaning they contain no nickel, which is a common cause of metal allergies.
Please note that this does not guarantee that no one will experience a metal allergic reaction (allergy-free). If you experience any skin abnormalities, please stop use immediately and consult a medical professional.
【Handling of Screw Parts】
This product features "anti-loosening processing" on the screw threads of the screw parts. ※Some parts may not have this processing. This processing involves coating the screw threads with a thin, elastic film to prevent screws from loosening due to vibrations through friction. However, it does not lock the screws, so there is still a possibility of loosening depending on usage conditions. When using, please ensure the screws are securely fastened before wearing, and for greater peace of mind, occasionally check for any loosening while wearing.
This product uses K18 or Pt900. Compared to materials like iron, these metals have lower hardness, so the screw parts may wear down or break depending on usage. Please be careful not to apply excessive upward or downward force when screwing. In the unlikely event that the screw part deteriorates and becomes difficult to use, please contact us. We can offer repair or suggestions for remaking it into a different piece of jewelry. Please contact us through the website's contact page.
【Precautions】
・When cleaning the metal parts, please be careful not to touch the screw part or the pearl. ・Pearls may change color or crack if left in a high temperature and humidity environment for a long time. Always store them in a place out of direct sunlight. ・Pearls are soft and easily scratched. Please store them in a case, separated from other accessories to prevent contact.
