Each stone will be unique with organic patterns. In contrast, synthetic resins often have a blue color with little tone variation and repetitive patterns. Dyed stones tend to appear more opaque, with little to no pattern and an unnatural tone of blue. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marahlago.com\/blog\/real-vs-fake-larimar\/\">Read more here<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b8efb34 e-con-full info e-flex elementor-invisible e-con e-child\" data-id=\"b8efb34\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;,&quot;animation_delay&quot;:2}\" data-pulse-id=\"pulse04\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9b1b10f elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"9b1b10f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marahlago.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/the_setting.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-18831\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.marahlago.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/the_setting.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.marahlago.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/the_setting-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.marahlago.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/the_setting-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fc25005 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"fc25005\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-93902e0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"93902e0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Bezel Vs Glue<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c8a9494 elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c8a9494\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Larimar jewelry should never be glued or prong set. Glue settings often have gaps between the stone and the silver, a bezel is folded over the stone seamlessly.  Also look at the back of the piece: open or hollowed-out backs 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.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fa70610 e-con-full info e-flex elementor-invisible e-con e-child\" data-id=\"fa70610\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;,&quot;animation_delay&quot;:4}\" data-pulse-id=\"pulse03\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a5c74a1 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"a5c74a1\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-74060b0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"74060b0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Sterling SILVER vs  Silver<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4d67553 elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4d67553\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">In costume jewelry, the word 'silver' can be used to describe the color of the metal as opposed to the content.
