Dominican Larimar Necklaces - Can anybody help?
Hello everybody 
I went to the Dominican Republic last month - it was incredible, we had a fabulous time.
While there i purchased a Larimar necklace and Bracelet from one of the beach front stalls for only 350 pesos (£6 or so) - i would really like to get my hands on more of these, is there anybody in the Dominican Republic who would like to help me and make some money for themselves by getting a hold of some Larimar necklaces and sending them to me here in the UK?
Larimar is a beautiful stone and the fact it is only found in the Dominican Republic is astonishing.
I hope someone can help! 
Thanks and i look forward to hearing from people
Mike

What you bought was PLASTIC.
It is impossible to buy a larimar necklace and bracelet for 350 pesos.

If the people you plan to supply in the UK don't mind "fake" rather than the "real thing" that is fine but be assured that genuine Larimar is not a 'cheap' alternative semi-precious stone. Having said that, it is very beautiful and, as you rightly say, is only mined and polished in the DR.

I know three suppliers in Puerto Plata who might be able to help. Do a google search, choose the styles you like, tell me size of necklace & I'll get some quotes ......... they will be PROPER quotes, whether they be for plastic alternatives OR the real Larimar & will be itemised as such. 
If you move quickly I have someone from the UK here in August & they could (hopefully - after I ask them) bring them back to the UK & post them from Manchester or Gatwick!! - Grahame.

This from Harrison Jewelers in Sosua by chance?
I looked at a piece just like it there last year for my sister. At that kind of price point I passed, but it is beautiful.
