While you may come across less expensive options, Marahlago stands apart—each piece is crafted with care and built to last.
You might see lower prices, but Marahlago is different. Each piece is thoughtfully crafted, professionally designed and made to last. Here’s what sets us apart:
Our Larimar is mined exclusively from the only known source in the world—deep in the Dominican Republic. But not all Larimar meets our standards. In addition to carefully selecting the most vibrant blues with striking natural patterns, we meticulously eliminate any cracks, flaws, or inclusions so commonly found in natural Larimar.
Marahlago jewelry is handcrafted using a premium .925 sterling silver blend that’s slightly harder than a standard alloy. This upgraded silver increases durability, resists scratches, and retain its brilliant luster over time
Every Marahlago piece is protected with a premium, low-tarnish finish that helps maintain its brilliant shine over time. This advanced protective layer enhances durability and helps to resist the dulling effects of airborne sulphur, moisture, and everyday wear.
This is one of the most important distinctions in our craftsmanship. We’ve learned that glue settings—commonly used by low-cost manufacturers—are fragile and often fail. That’s why every Marahlago piece is custom-designed with secure, handcrafted bezel settings made specifically for Larimar. The result is a stronger, longer-lasting hold that protects the stone. It’s quality you can see—and trust—for years to come.
With our reputation for quality, integrity, and customer service, Marahlago has become the most recognized and trusted name in Larimar jewelry worldwide. Each Marahlago piece represents a commitment to authenticity and artisan craftsmanship—an investment in beauty that endures with confidence.
While many jewelers repurpose standard silver settings, Larimar demands more. Its unique properties require precision, care, and custom craftsmanship. You can’t simply place this stone into a generic mold and expect it to endure. At Marahlago, every design is purpose-built—from the ground up—to protect the integrity of the stone and elevate its brilliance.
Larimar isn’t just part of what we do—it’s the heart of everything we create. For over 25 years, we’ve devoted ourselves exclusively to this rare and remarkable gemstone. That unwavering focus shapes every design, every setting, and every detail, ensuring each piece showcases Larimar’s natural beauty while offering lasting strength.
Our story begins where larimar is born — deep in the mountains of the Dominican Republic. For decades, we’ve worked directly at the source, hand-selecting each stone with care and experience. We know this land, this stone, and this process like few others do. Our expertise is built on passion, patience, and a deep respect for the local community. The people who mine Larimar are our partners, and together, we honor the journey from mountain to masterpiece.
Genuine Larimar is a natural gemstone, and authentic stones will show natural variations in color with a range of blues and soft white marbling. All will be unique with organic patterns. In contrast, synthetic resins often have a uniform blue color with repetitive or artificial-looking patterns. Dyed stones tend to appear more opaque, with little to no white veining and an unnatural tone of blue. Read more click here
Premium Larimar jewelry is never glued or prong set. Instead, look for bezel settings that protect the stone and hold it securely in place. Also, take a look at the back of the piece: open or hollowed-out backs often signal cost-cutting and can compromise durability. A well-constructed, fully supported design helps protect the stone and ensures the piece holds up over time.
Even when shopping online, you can spot signs of expert cutting. High-quality Larimar will have a smooth shape with a glass-like polish, no visible cracks, no rock inclusions and no dull spots or chalky areas. Clean lines and a luminous finish are key indicators of skilled craftsmanship.
Many companies cut corners with soft or lightweight silver that scratches or tarnishes easily. We use a custom .925 sterling silver blend that’s slightly harder for added strength and durability. Each piece is also sealed with a premium low-tarnish finish that helps preserve its shine—so your jewelry stays beautiful with minimal maintenance.
Many Larimar pieces may look appealing, but often use weak settings and glue that fails. When stones fall out or pieces break, customers are left without support or a way to repair them. Choosing a trusted, established brand that values and respects its customers means your jewelry is backed by quality, accountability, and real customer care.
