Artisans use round Larimar beads in a variety of jewelry designs. These beads frequently appear in necklaces, bracelets, and earrings, offering a refreshing touch.

History, Mythology, and Symbolism
Larimar has a rich history linked to the Dominican Republic, where it originates. Discovered in the 1970s, the stone quickly gained popularity. Many people believe that Larimar embodies the energy of the ocean and sky, promoting peace and harmony. In some cultures, Larimar symbolizes love and healing, making it a popular choice for meaningful gifts. People often wear Larimar jewelry to connect with the soothing energy of the sea. Its calming presence encourages emotional balance and tranquility.
Mining, Production, and Applications
Larimar is a rare stone found only in the Dominican Republic, and they stopped mining it as of May 2022. Miners extracted it from volcanic formations, often working in challenging conditions. After extraction, artisans cut and shape the stone into round beads. They polish the beads to enhance their natural luster, ensuring a smooth finish.
In addition to jewelry, Larimar beads serve various decorative purposes. Crafters incorporate them into home décor, creating beautiful accent pieces. They also feature prominently in holistic practices, where individuals use the beads in meditation and energy work. As a result, the allure of round Larimar beads continues to inspire artisans, making them treasured components in creative expressions.

Care Guide
Durability
- Larimar Beads: Larimar is a delicate semi-precious stone with a Mohs hardness of 4.5 to 5, making it prone to scratching and chipping if not handled with care. Avoid direct impacts and rough handling to preserve the beads’ natural beauty.
- Antique Copper-Style Brass Findings: Brass is durable but may tarnish over time, especially when exposed to moisture or chemicals. It’s important to store the earrings properly to prevent tarnishing of the metal.
Suitability
- Casual Wear: The calming, oceanic blue tones of Larimar make these earrings perfect for everyday wear, adding a peaceful touch to any outfit.
- Special Occasions: Their unique, serene aesthetic also makes them suitable for more formal occasions, offering a soft, sophisticated look.
Storage
- Store the earrings in a soft pouch, jewelry box, or hermetic bag when not in use to prevent scratching or damage from contact with other jewelry.
- Keep them in a dry environment to protect the Larimar from moisture and the brass findings from tarnishing.
Cleaning
- Larimar Beads: Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust or oils. For deeper cleaning, use a slightly dampened cloth, but avoid soaking Larimar in water as it is sensitive to prolonged exposure.
- Brass Findings: Brass can naturally tarnish over time, so it’s a good idea to use a jewelry polishing cloth designed for brass to maintain its shine. You can also use a gentle brass cleaner, but avoid excessive use to keep the natural finish intact.
- General Care: Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasives, or cleaners that could damage the Larimar or the brass.
General Care Tips
- Avoid exposing the earrings to perfumes, lotions, and other chemicals, which can damage both the Larimar beads and the brass findings.
- Remove the earrings before swimming, showering, or engaging in activities where they might be exposed to water or harsh chemicals.
Size Guide
6 & 10mm beads, in some cases the size of the stone beads may vary +-1mm. Hook lengths range between 1cm basic hooks, 1.5+cm English Locks, 2cm silver hooks – refer to the product photos. In newer designs, the stainless steel spacer daisies, bead caps and small beads contribute 3-4mm extra length (refer to product photo) In principle I keep the weight below 5 grams per earring, so it doesn’t stretch or hurt your ears even if you wear it the whole day. Occasionally, for some designs, that weight limit exceeds by a gram – every pair has their specific weight marked under the overview tab. Note that some earring hooks have thicker wires, and if you are not used to wearing earrings daily, using them will feel uncomfortable in the beginning.
