Golden Pearl, how to continue the black theme of PASSIONOIR?

PASSIONOIR originally took "black" as its visual core. The addition of golden pearls this time does not change the entire chain to gold, but retains the dark surface so that the pearls become the brighter part when the light falls. The relationship between black and gold has been reduced from large-area color matching to the contrast between chain links, bead surfaces and skin.

This treatment also allows pearls to be more than just formal evening wear. If paired with a plain T-shirt, shirt or knitwear, you can first observe whether the neckline and necklace length allow the beads to fall into the right position; ear cuffs form another emphasis from the side profile. These are the matching directions proposed based on the design, and do not mean that each piece has the same length or wearing method.

Eight new works, don’t just look at the same image when choosing

Necklaces, bracelets and ear cuffs vary in size, clasp and weight. When choosing, you can first confirm the situation in which you will wear it, and then compare the proportion of links, the number of pearls and the position during activities. In particular, the use of ear bone clips and ear pin earrings are different, and whether you need ear piercing cannot be determined just from a long-range photo.

The effect of golden pearls and black metal surfaces will also change with the light source. You can see the design in online pictures, but they may not fully show the size and color. If possible, you can compare the product with daily clothing in the store. Pearl care and cleaning should still follow the instructions of the material, and avoid directly applying the treatment methods of ordinary metal jewelry.

There is a price change node for Japanese prices, please refer to the mark at checkout.

When the new game was released, Japan announced a price range of 104,500 to 1,155,000 yen. MIKIMOTO Japan's official website also lists product price adjustment notices starting from 10 a.m. on October 21, 2026. Therefore, the numbers in the original news should be regarded as information at the time of release, rather than a guarantee that it will be applicable to all future dates.

For prices, styles and service arrangements in Taiwan or other regions, you should also check the local official channels. Japanese prices cannot be directly equated to Taiwanese prices, and the general price change notice on the official website is not enough to deduce the amplitude adjustment of each model. You still need to confirm each item before purchasing.

What do you see in the figures and the jewelry itself?

Jinguji Yuta’s image video connects the series with contemporary music culture; the jewelry design itself establishes recognition through the contrast of the chain and pearl materials. If you want to understand this update, you may wish to move your eyes from the characters to the chain links, bead surfaces and the proportions of the entire piece. You can better see how it adds new levels of light and dark to the original black world.
