A single pearl with a deep turquoise blue-green color.
It creates a beautiful iridescent play of color.
Because the color is deep, the blue stands out clearly against white or skin tones, and under strong light such as direct sunlight, pink and yellow interference colors appear within the turquoise blue.
The round-like shape is easy to match with any base part.
※What is Umihotaru?
Natural-colored blue baroque Akoya pearls cultivated by one of Japan's leading pearl farms, which has been operating for 120 years in Tsushima, Nagasaki Prefecture.
Only pearls with a mystical blue that seems to reflect the sea of Tsushima are given the name "Umihotaru" and are certified as a single pearl BRAND.
Natural-colored blue Akoya pearls are created when organic components of the shell enter the nacre, producing beautiful interference colors. Since this is an accidental color, it is very rare and highly prized when the blue appears beautifully covering the entire pearl.
Natural-colored blue Akoya pearls are said to be prone to color changes, but "Umihotaru" pearls have a thick nacre layer and deep color, and undergo a preservation process under strict management to prevent color changes.
