This 925 Sterling Silver pendant features a Larimar stone, a rare blue variety of pectolite found only in the Dominican Republic. The stone's coloration mirrors the azure hues of the Caribbean Sea, ranging from light blue to greenish-blue, with white streaks that resemble sunlight dancing beneath the ocean's surface. The sterling silver setting is robust, detailed with a fine arrangement of granules and swirls, which are typical in high-quality silverwork, reflecting the skill of the silversmith.
The locket itself is ingeniously designed to contain a small compartment. This hidden space is seamlessly incorporated into the pendant, hinged to allow for the storage of a pill or small keepsake, drawing inspiration from historical poison rings and lockets that were popular in past centuries for their secretive nature.
Larimar is not only prized for its unique aesthetic but also for its scarcity, as it occurs in just one square kilometer of dense rainforest in the Dominican Republic's Barahona range. The contrast between the silver's shine and the Larimar's sea-like quality gives this pendant a distinctive appearance that is both practical and visually striking.
