*About "Umibotaru" (Sea Firefly)
Natural blue baroque Akoya pearls cultivated by one of Japan's leading farmers, with a 120-year history in Tsushima, Nagasaki Prefecture.
Only pearls with a mystical blue color, as if reflecting the sea of Tsushima, are given the name "Umibotaru" and certified as a unique pearl brand.
Natural blue Akoya pearls are created when organic components from the oyster shell penetrate the nacre layers, producing beautiful interference colors. Since this color appears incidentally, it is rare and very valuable for the blue to cover the entire pearl beautifully.
Natural blue Akoya pearls are said to be prone to color change, but "Umibotaru" pearls have thick nacre and deep color, and undergo preservation processes under strict management to prevent color changes.
You can read an interview with the producers of Umibotaru here.
