Reshaping the Flawed
All of our pearls are carefully selected from those that pearl farmers have traditionally called 'flawed pearls,' which were previously discarded without ever being seen by the general public. From these imperfect pearls, we handpick the ones that can be transformed into unique, one-of-a-kind treasures through the art of Kintsugi.
Sourced from Tsushima
All of our pearls are sourced from Tsushima, an island in Nagasaki Prefecture, where the rich natural beauty still remains intact.
Tsushima Blue Pearls
Tsushima is well known as a harvesting site for a strong blue hue pearls called “Tsushima Blue”, which makes them so unique.
Our Trusted Partnerships
Trusted partnerships with pearl farmers enable us to acquire overlooked pearls and bring them to life as exquisite jewelries.
Pure and Unrefined
Pearls that are commonly available in the market are generally processed with pre-treatment, bleaching, color adjustment, and surface coatings. However, none of these processes are applied to our pearls. We honor their natural beauty, including their organic shapes, just as they are.
Unprocessed
Most pearls we encounter have undergone various processes such as color adjustment, dyeing, radiation treatment, polishing, and bleaching. Needless to say, many chemicals are used in these processes. However, in our creations, we respect the natural beauty, including its 'imperfections,' and believe that such treatments are entirely unnecessary. While we do not deny the value of enhancing a pearl’s quality through artificial processes, it is important to note that 'flawed pearls' were considered unworthy of such treatments in the first place.
Irregular Forms
Our jewelries include pearls with irregular shapes, far from the perfect sphere that is often considered valuable. Since ancient times, the Japanese have believed that strange-shaped rocks, giant trees, and mountains with unique forms are inhabited by spirits, or 'kami,' beyond human comprehension, and have revered them. We feel a similar awe toward the pearls that were born contrary to human intentions. This animistic belief, deeply rooted in the hearts of the Japanese, can be said to be a source of inspiration for our creations.
