*What is "Umihotaru" (Sea Firefly)?
Natural blue baroque Akoya pearls cultivated by one of Japan's leading farmers 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" (Sea Firefly) and certified as a unique pearl brand.
The beautiful iridescence of Akoya pearls is created when organic components of the shell penetrate into the nacre layers.
Natural blue color is an accidental occurrence, so it is rare and very valuable for it to appear beautifully covering the entire pearl.
Natural blue Akoya pearls are said to be prone to color changes, but "Umihotaru" pearls have thick nacre and deep color, and undergo a storage process under strict management to prevent color changes.
Customers who purchase these pearls will receive a card certifying them as Umihotaru.
You can read an interview with the producers of Umihotaru here.

A collection offering unique and valuable pearls in screw-type jewelry.
The screw mechanism allows you to enjoy various combinations of pearls with base parts such as earrings and rings.
【Nickel-free】
The metal fittings (K18, PT900) are "nickel-free," meaning they contain no 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 specialist.
【Handling of Screw Parts】
This product has an "anti-loosening treatment" applied to the threaded part of the screw.
*Some parts are untreated
This treatment involves coating the threaded part with a thin, elastic film to prevent screws from loosening due to vibrations, etc., through friction.
However, it does not lock the screw, so loosening may occur depending on the usage conditions.
When using, please ensure the screw is tightened securely before wearing, and periodically check for loosening during wear to use it with greater peace of mind.
This product uses K18 or Pt900.
Compared to materials like iron, these are not as hard, so the screw part may wear down or break depending on usage.
Please be careful not to apply too much vertical force when screwing it on.
If the screw part deteriorates and becomes difficult to use, please contact us. We can offer repair services or propose remake ideas to repurpose it into a different piece of jewelry.
Please contact us via the contact page on our website.
