The Larimar Cabochon Arc Ring sets a single, smoothly domed cabochon of natural Larimar into an open, gold-plated arc band. Larimar is a blue pectolite found only in the Dominican Republic, and its polished dome shows off the stone's soft blue-and-white patterning, often compared to shallow Caribbean water. The open arc flexes gently to fit most finger sizes rather than requiring a specific ring size. This style is offered in three cabochon shapes — Rectangle, Round, and Teardrop — and because each one is cut from raw stone, the exact pattern and shade will be unique to your ring.

In Crystal Tradition
In crystal tradition, Larimar is traditionally associated with calm and a sense of connection to the sea. Many people find its cool, watery blue tones grounding to wear.
How to Wear
Slide the open arc onto your finger and gently adjust the width for a comfortable fit. It works well as a statement ring on its own or stacked with slim gold-tone bands. Because Larimar is a soft stone, treat it as a day-wear piece and remove it before activities involving water, chemicals, or heavy hand use.
Care
Larimar is a soft, water-sensitive stone. Never soak this ring — clean the cabochon only with a soft, dry cloth, and take it off before showering, swimming, washing dishes, or applying lotion and perfume. Store it away from other jewelry to prevent scratching, and keep it out of direct, prolonged sunlight, which can dull the stone's color over time. The band is gold-plated rather than solid gold; dry it after wear and skip ultrasonic cleaners to protect the plating.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What's the difference between the shape options?
A: Rectangle, Round, and Teardrop are three different cabochon cuts of the same Larimar stone, all set in the same open, gold-plated arc band.
Q: Is the ring adjustable?
A: Yes. The open arc band flexes gently to fit most finger sizes; there's no fixed ring size to choose.
Q: Is the band solid gold?
A: No. The band is gold-plated, not solid gold. The care steps above will help the plating last.
Q: Can I shower or swim with this ring on?
A: We recommend taking it off first, since Larimar is soft and sensitive to water and household chemicals.
Q: Will my ring match the photos exactly?
A: Not exactly — each cabochon is cut from natural stone, so the pattern, shade, and shape are unique to your ring.
