Ring, Larimar in Sterling Silver (made and signed by Brett Kosnar)

Item Description

A lovely, custom-made, ring featuring a gorgeous, blue and white swirled, "Rectangle Cabochon" cut Larimar (Pectolite) gem set into a very attractive Sterling Silver ring. Larimar is the trade name that is designated to the light blue, massive Pectolite from the Dominican Republic. The material is typically opaque, but sometimes slightly translucent. The actual name "Larimar" is a combination of "Larissa", which was the name of the daughter of Dominican geologist, Miguel Mendez who originally named the material, and "Mar", which is the Spanish word for sea, as it resembles the crystal blue Caribbean Sea. This stone is an attractive Larimar gem with a "Trillion Cabochon" cut and a beautiful banded blue, whic and reddish-brown appearance. These stones are only found in one place in the world, and they are becoming increasingly more popular among collectors, jewelers and dealers. This ring really stands out and will get a lot of lookers to whomever wears it. The underside of the ring was signed by Brett Kosnar on Tuesday October 16, 2010 and you can see his mark in the photos.
