Sterling Silver & Larimar Turtle Stud Earrings

The green sea turtles, called Honu, live in Hawaiian waters. They are a symbol for peace, good luck, and long life. For this enchanting stud earring design from our Aloha Collection, round blue Larimar gemstones are nestled above sterling silver turtles. 1/4” x 1/2” Larimar is a very rare semi precious gemstone found only in one location in the world: the Dominican Republic. The unique azure blue gem is formed in lava tubes when hot gases push crystallized minerals up through volcanic tubes. The name Larimar was created by Dominican Miguel Mendez, combining his daughter’s name Larissa and the Spanish word for sea, mar. Larimar is considered a healing stone, especially for speech and communication.
