Larimar Collection

It’s no secret that we are in love with Larimar — the rare, vibrant blue stone that’s become a staple of Atelys Jewelry. 
Larimar is a variety of the silicate mineral pectolite found only in the Dominican Republic.

Although larimar was known by locals of the city Barahona for centuries before, the stone was rediscovered in 1974 by Miguel Mendez and Normal Rilling and given the name ‘larimar’ — a combination of the name ‘Larissa’ (Mendez’s daughter’s name) and ‘mar’ (the Spanish word for ‘sea’)
