Larimar Pendant in 14K Yellow Gold

Larimar formed in volcanoes millions of years ago in the mountains above Baoruco in the Dominican Republic. Larimar's beautiful white to blue to teal colors mirror the shades of the Caribbean Sea and sky. Larimar was named in 1974 by Miguel Mendez, one of its discoverers, combining his daughter’s name, Larissa, with the Spanish word for the ocean, “mar”. With beautiful patterns, no two pieces of larimar are alike. Gazing into larimar, you might see a beautiful blue sky with clouds or an underwater seascape.

With a warm sunny glow, 14K gold is the standard for fine jewelry, valued in every culture for its beauty as well as its long history as a store of wealth and a symbol of success. Gold doesn’t tarnish, rust, or corrode. Pure 24K gold is alloyed with other metals, including silver, copper, and zinc, to make it more durable. 14K yellow gold, 58.5% gold, is the most popular alloy in the United States because it holds gems securely and resists wear and scratching. Your gold jewelry will shine for generations.
