※About Umihotaru
Umihotaru are natural blue baroque Akoya pearls cultivated by one of Japan's leading pearl farmers, who has been in business for 120 years in Tsushima, Nagasaki Prefecture.
Only pearls with a mysterious blue color, as if reflecting the sea of Tsushima, are given the name "Umihotaru" and certified as a unique pearl brand.
Natural blue Akoya pearls are created when organic components from the shell enter the nacre layer, producing beautiful interference colors. Since this color is accidental, it is rare and very valuable for the blue to beautifully cover the entire pearl.
Natural blue Akoya pearls are said to be prone to color changes, but "Umihotaru" pearls have a thick nacre layer and a deep color, and have undergone a preservation process under strict quality control to prevent color changes.
