Larimar Ring

Size 18 ring crafted in high-purity 950 silver. This simple yet elegant piece features a beautiful polished cabochon of light blue larimar measuring 14 x 13 mm. This larimar gem is surrounded by a handcrafted silver bezel frame on a delicate silver band. The band is adorned with embossed leaves and fruit, also crafted in 950 silver.

It was discovered by a priest in Barahona, Dominican Republic, in 1916; however, its popularity didn't surge until 1974 when Miguel Méndez named it larimar, combining his daughter Larissa's name with the word "sea." This blue color, unlike that of other rocks, results from the substitution of cobalt for calcium.

Origin: Dominican Republic.
