Meaning & history
Larimar is one of the rarest gemstones in the world, mined from a single volcanic deposit in the Dominican Republic. Its name blends "Larissa" (the discoverer's daughter) with "mar," Spanish for sea, echoing its ocean-blue color. Worn at the throat, larimar is traditionally linked to the throat chakra and to calm, easier self-expression. Browse more in the larimar collection or necklaces & pendants.
How to wear it
Worn close to the throat, this necklace works well solo as a statement piece or layered with a longer, simpler chain. Because larimar is a relatively soft stone, remove it before swimming, showering, or strenuous activity, and store it flat or hanging to avoid tangling and scratches.
Care & cleansing
Avoid prolonged soaking, harsh chemicals, chlorine, and ultrasonic or steam cleaners, all of which can dull the larimar or tarnish the silver. Many people cleanse larimar with sound, incense smoke, or moonlight instead of water. Polish the silver chain gently with a jewelry cloth. Browse more in jewelry.
