The Larimar Gold Beaded Necklace brings the tranquil blues of the Caribbean Sea right to your neckline. Handcrafted with genuine larimar stones — a rare blue mineral found only in the Dominican Republic — interspersed with warm gold-filled beads, this necklace is a wearable escape to tropical waters.
Each larimar bead displays its own unique pattern of soft blues, whites, and seafoam tones, reminiscent of sunlight filtering through shallow ocean waves. Paired with polished gold-filled beads, the color combination is fresh, feminine, and effortlessly elegant. The beaded construction gives it a relaxed, organic quality that feels artisan-made from the moment you pick it up.
Larimar is sometimes called the "Atlantis Stone" or "Dolphin Stone" and is believed to promote calm, clarity, and communication. Beyond its metaphysical associations, it's simply one of the most beautiful blue stones in the world — and increasingly sought-after as more people discover it.
This necklace sits beautifully at collarbone length, making it ideal for V-necks, scoop necks, and open necklines. Layer it with a simple gold chain for a beachy-chic stack, or wear it alone as a pop of Caribbean color against a crisp white blouse.
Part of the Kate Koel beaded necklace collection. Handcrafted in our Florida studio with genuine larimar and gold-filled materials.

Sizing
- Length: 18 inches (custom sizing available on request).
- Natural faceted Larimar beads with 14k gold-filled accents.
- Hypoallergenic and comfortable for sensitive skin.
14k Gold Filled
Gold filled is not plating. A thick layer of solid 14k gold is bonded to a jeweler's brass core under heat and pressure, so the piece carries about 100 times more gold than a thin flash plate. That is why it holds its color through daily wear instead of rubbing thin at the edges.
925 Sterling Silver
Solid sterling, bright and cool against the skin. I also offer an oxidized finish, a soft blackened patina that deepens the look of a stack and sits beautifully next to your gold pieces.
Signature Crystals
This is the part I also make by hand. Semi-precious gemstones, real dried botanicals, and Swarovski crystals, arranged one at a time and sealed under UV stable resin that stays glass-clear rather than yellowing. Because the elements are natural, no two are ever exactly alike.
Made in My Florida Studio
I make every piece to order in my studio here in Florida. Small differences in flower placement, stone color, or the depth of a crystal are part of the design, not a flaw.
Made for Sensitive Ears and Skin
My fashion studs use surgical steel posts and backs, chosen for ears that react to almost everything else.
Artisan Frames (Pendants and Earrings)
The statement frames are lead free and nickel free brass, finished with a heavy gold plate for a rich, high-shine luster.

Gold filled, vermeil, plated: what's the difference?
It all comes down to how much real gold you're wearing.
Gold plated
A thin film of gold over brass or copper. It can wear through with everyday wear.
Gold vermeil
Gold over sterling silver, at least 2.5 microns thick. Better than plating, still a coating.
14k gold filledWhat you get
A thick layer of solid 14k gold bonded to a brass core. About 100 times more gold than plating, so it holds its color through daily wear.
Gold layers enlarged so you can see the difference.
