Natural Larimar Jewelry from the Dominican Republic
Larimar is one of the rarest blue stones in fine jewelry. It is found in only one place on earth, a single mountainside in the Dominican Republic, where it formed from ancient volcanic activity along the Caribbean coast. The color sits somewhere between Caribbean shallows and pale sky, with soft white veining that no two stones share.
Our larimar pieces are built with faceted Larimar beads strung with 14k gold filled accents:
Both pieces are designed to layer. Wear the necklace on its own as a quiet statement, or pair it with the bracelet for a matched set. Read more about larimar's geology on Mindat.
Watermelon Tourmaline Necklace
Watermelon tourmaline is one of the most distinctive stones in nature. A single crystal carries a pink core wrapped in a green outer layer, the result of a chemical shift during crystal growth deep inside the earth. No two slices are identical.
The Watermelon Tourmaline Necklace ($204) features natural faceted tourmaline beads (approximately 3mm) accented with three cubic zirconia crystals and 14k gold filled findings. It is the centerpiece of the Gem Edition and the piece most asked about in our newest releases.
For more on tourmaline grading and color, see the GIA tourmaline reference.
Sunstone and Freshwater Pearl Pieces
Two natural stones, two very different moods.
Sunstone Beaded Bracelet ($93). Sunstone catches light like a slow flicker, with copper and gold inclusions that shimmer when you move. Paired with 14k gold filled elements, it reads warm and sunlit on the wrist. A favorite for late spring and summer wear.
Pearl Turquoise Beaded Necklace ($93). Real freshwater pearls and turquoise Japanese beads in a soft, layered pattern. This piece is quiet enough for daily wear but distinctive enough to stand on its own. Looks especially good against linen, denim, or a simple white tee.
Both are made to order with the same metal standards as the rest of the Gem Edition: solid 14k gold filled, not plated.
Whole Stones vs. Crushed Gemstone Jewelry
If you have been exploring our other collections, the Gem Edition is the most traditional in feel. Every piece here uses whole, cut, or faceted natural stones, the kind you would expect from a classic gemstone setting.
Our other collections take a different creative path:
- Crushed Stones Collection uses real crushed gemstones (malachite, abalone, lapis, howlite) set into clear resin for a fluid, modern look
- Galaxy Collection suspends crushed minerals and shimmer in deep blue and black resin
- Vacation Treasures features crushed turquoise, mother of pearl, larimar, and Swarovski in clear resin
- Floral Romance preserves real pressed flowers in resin
The Gem Edition is the line for the customer who wants to see the gemstone in its natural cut form.
