representative works, “Sacred Tree,” has become a hot topic on social media as art that people can ride on. ■About Nature Pearl Pearls, which are Japan’s representative jewelry, attract people all over the world with their beauty and are highly regarded by global fashion brands. However, there are strict standards for them to be used as jewelry. Pearls are classified as grade 1 or grade 2 at the time of bidding, and are further subdivided according to size, color, shape, and damage condition before being distributed. Only about 13% of Japanese oysters and only about 7% of hybrids with foreign Akoya oysters are classified as grade 1, which is suitable for high-grade jewelry, and it is because of this system that Japanese pearl jewelry is widely recognized as high quality. Generally, low-quality pearls that do not meet the grade 2 standard are not sold and are used as a cosmetic ingredient (conchiolin) or regenerated nuclei. ■WSP Corporation’s Environmental Initiatives Our jewelry is created based on the culture of pearl farming in harmony with the sea. However, in recent years, climate change and environmental changes have had a major impact on the growth environment of Akoya oysters. Protecting the seas where pearls are born is an important initiative that supports the foundation of our brand. Based on this philosophy, we are promoting various measures to reduce our environmental impact. We are continually working on new uses for pearls that were not made into jewelry, creating fixtures using waste materials, and donating to related organizations. ■About WSP Co., Ltd.
