From Kobe's Pearl District to the World - ERIS VELINA Introduces Kawaii Pearl Jewelry at Tokyo and Kyoto Gift Shows

Diversity and ocean conservation through Osakanapearl's new value

ERIS VELINA, a pearl specialty shop operated by Trad Style Co., Ltd. (locations: Kita-ku, Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture / Kawaguchi-cho, Fukuyama, Hiroshima Prefecture), is launching the full-scale rollout of "Osakanapearl," a new brand that transforms the individuality of once-rejected baroque pearls into value, in Kobe, where pearls from around the world converge.

The brand will intensify recruitment of B2B partners for domestic and international high-end distribution channels, leveraging consecutive exhibitions at the "101st Tokyo International Gift Show Spring 2026" in February 2026 and the "7th Kyoto Gift Show."

Development Background: A New Strategy Starting with "Kawaii" and Ending with "Authentic"

Adorable Osakanapearl characters

By combining the noble yet somewhat intimidating pearl with "Kawaii (characters)" that transcends language barriers, the brand has built a merchandising plan that intuitively makes people want to own them.

First, customers are drawn by the cuteness of the characters, then learn about the background "Kobe pearl selection technology" and "SDG stories protecting the ocean," becoming convinced of the authentic quality.

This process from "intuitive interest to deep empathy" is the new sales strategy that this brand proposes.

Kobe's Pearl Sanctuary Enables "Affirmation of Diversity"

Kobe, the pearl sanctuary where pearls from around the world gather

Kobe is a city where approximately 70% of the world's pearl distribution is concentrated. Here, vast numbers of pearls are evaluated daily through advanced selection techniques.

Previously Discarded "Tails" are Gem-Quality Rainbow-Colored Brilliance

Until now, "Oni-Baroque" pearls with significant deformations were considered non-standard, and protrusions resembling tails or fins were cut off and discarded.

However, the brand recognized that these "tails" are actually concentrated pearl layer crystals—gem-quality material that shines with rainbow colors.

The "Irregularity" Itself is Value Called Diversity, Born from Nature

Using Kobe's reliable selection expertise, only pearls with strong luster are carefully selected, and their formations are interpreted as 11 types of "sea companions."

These pieces have been elevated into "gems to cherish" that are uniquely yours—a new form of pearl.
