OUR STORY
The Larimar Shop began as a family project driven by curiosity, passion, and the desire to share the beauty of Dominican Larimar with the world. What started as a small initiative has grown into a trusted jewelry brand — yet the heart of our work remains unchanged.
We travel directly to Barahona to hand-select each stone, choosing them one by one for their color, quality, and uniqueness. We partner with local artisans who transform raw Larimar into meaningful keepsakes using time-honored techniques.
Every piece you receive carries a part of our island — its colors, its culture, and its craftsmanship. This is more than jewelry. It’s a celebration of our heritage, and we are proud to share it with you.
Design & Craftsmanship
Each piece in our workshop begins with a simple question: How do we honor the stone?
Larimar’s natural patterns guide our designs, inspiring jewelry that feels modern, feminine, and timeless without ever overpowering the gem. Our artisans sketch, carve, and shape each setting by hand — refining the metal to protect the stone while letting its natural beauty shine.
Because Larimar varies widely in color and pattern, no two pieces are ever identical. That is part of the magic and a promise we proudly uphold: every jewel is truly one of a kind.
We craft everything in small batches using traditional Dominican techniques combined with contemporary design, ensuring authenticity and quality in every detail.
Our Artisans
Behind every Larimar piece is a team of Dominican artisans who have dedicated their lives to mastering traditional jewelry techniques. Many have been working with Larimar for decades, learning to cut, shape, and set each stone in a way that honors its natural beauty and unique patterns.
Their expertise is hands-on and deeply personal—every bezel is formed, every polish is finished, and every detail is refined by human touch. No two stones are ever the same, and our artisans craft each setting to complement the character of the Larimar they hold.
It is their skill, patience, and cultural heritage that make our jewelry more than an accessory—it is a piece of Dominican artistry, created with intention and devotion.
What We Believe In
Our values guide every step of the process:
- Authenticity above all — Every stone is natural Dominican Larimar, never treated or artificially enhanced.
- Artisan collaboration — We work directly with skilled Dominican jewelers, supporting fair labor and local economies.
- Small-batch craftsmanship — Quality always comes before quantity.
- Meaningful connection — From packaging to care instructions, we treat every order like a special gift.
When you choose The Larimar Shop, you’re not just buying jewelry — you’re becoming part of a story rooted in culture, craftsmanship, and Caribbean identity.
