About Us
Inspired by our country’s rich culture and history, breathtaking beauty, and distinct character, we knew we wanted to take something that was uniquely Dominican and share it with the world. One thing immediately came to mind: handcrafted larimar jewelry.
Unique
Larimar is a rare natural gemstone that can only be found in a mountainous area in the province of Barahona, in the southern coast of the Dominican Republic. The total surface area of the larimar deposits is thought to cover less than a single square mile!
We work with local Dominican artisans and jewelers that design and craft stunning jewelry using larimar and silver. Each piece of jewelry is carefully made with pride as an ode to the beauty, warmth, and uniqueness of our island.
Larimar exudes a dazzling light blue color that is often considered to embody the gorgeous shades of blue present in the Caribbean Sea and sky. For some, the Larimar gemstone represents peace, calmness, and clarity.
Because larimar is a natural stone, every piece of jewelry has a unique pattern of blue and white shades, making each handcrafted piece truly one-of-a-kind.
We Believe
We believe in looking for the beauty hidden in small things and everyday life. We are thankful for what life gives us, the good, the bad, and the ugly. And we are fiercely hopeful about the future.
We believe in discovering new places, spending time with the people we love, and in appreciating the gift of life.
We created Larimar Unique to inspire you to dream, explore, discover, and relish in the beauty of the world.
Our Promise
We only sell jewelry that we love.
We only invite a select group of local artisans to work with us, and we curate our inventory, hand-picking the jewelry with the purest Larimar stones and superior craftsmanship.
We are proud to offer you “un chin” (the Dominican way of saying “a little bit”) of our country’s culture warmth and beauty, and we work hard to make sure you love what you get from us.
We want to personally thank you for supporting our small business. We truly hope you find something that brings peace and happiness into your life.
