Gemstone introduction
Larimar beads are prized for their extraordinary Caribbean-blue colouring and distinctive white, cloud-like patterns. Found in the Dominican Republic, Larimar is a rare blue variety of the mineral pectolite, admired by jewellery designers for its individuality and natural beauty.
These smooth tumble Larimar gemstone beads measure approximately 5 × 8 mm to 11 × 14 mm. Their softly rounded forms and varying patterns make them particularly suited to jewellery designs that celebrate the individual character of each gemstone.
Created by nature. Considered by the maker.
Larimars individual patterns reward simple arrangements that allow each stone to be seen. Pair with white metals for a cool palette or warm yellow gold for a measured contrast.
