About Akoya Pearls
Akoya pearls, which have a white image, basically have a cream or yellowish color when they are in their freshly harvested state called raw pearls, and black spots or dirt are almost always visible inside.
Therefore, Akoya pearls undergo a preliminary treatment called bleaching to remove spots. At the same time, the entire pearl loses its yellowness and becomes whitish, but since the original redness of the Akoya is also removed, a small amount of red dye is used to apply a color adjustment process inside the nacre layer over time.
Unlike dyeing (coloring) processing, this is recognized as a process that is part of "enhancement treatment = the minimum processing to bring out the original goodness of the material". Currently, Akoya pearls are basically assumed to undergo color adjustment processing, and just because this process is done, the value of the pearl after color adjustment is not reduced, and it is properly evaluated as a valuable gemstone.
*Uncolored Akoya pearls refer to those that have not undergone color adjustment processing after preliminary treatment.

*The pearl is fitted with a K18YG screw mount part.

【Nickel-Free】
The metal parts (K18, PT900) are "nickel-free", made without any nickel that can cause metal allergies.
*This does not guarantee that everyone will not have a metal allergy reaction (allergy-free). If you feel any abnormality on your skin, please stop using it immediately and consult a specialist.
【About Handling Screw Parts】
This product has a "loosening prevention treatment" applied to the screw thread part of the screw part.
*Some parts are also untreated
By coating a thin, elastic film on the screw thread part, it is a process that suppresses the loosening of the screw due to vibration by friction force.
However, since it does not lock, depending on the usage situation, there is a possibility that the screw may loosen.
When using, please wear it after firmly fastening the screw, and check occasionally during wear to see if it has loosened, so you can use it with greater peace of mind.
This product uses K18 or Pt900.
Compared to materials such as iron, it is not very hard, so depending on the usage situation, the screw part may wear out or break.
Please use it carefully so that too much force is not applied up and down when turning the screw.
If it becomes difficult to use due to deterioration of the screw part, if you contact us, we will propose a repair or a remake plan so that you can use it as a different jewelry.
Please contact us from the contact page of the website.
