    Kyshima Cultured Pearls

    I've never heard of the brand and the name is strange. It seems like it's designed to be/look Japanese, but it's not. Shima is common in place and company names because it means island in Japanese. Ky has no meaning. It has to be followed by a vowel. Kys... is not a sound in Japanese. If it...
