Our sterling silver Larimar Honu Sea Turtle Post Earrings feature a lovely symbol, dear to Hawaiian culture. These post earrings feature dainty Honu turtles (also known as Hawaiian green sea turtles) with larimar accented shells. They are a symbol of wisdom, good luck, and longevity. They also represent the connection between the people, the land, and the sea. Honu turtles are seen as a guardian angel over the Hawaiian community. You can appreciate these timeless virtues and the beauty of this creature with the Larimar Honu Turtle Post Earrings. 

What is Larimar? Larimar is a very rare gemstone. That is to say, only a small mountainous area in the Dominican Republic is where the gem can be found, and it is created by volcanic activity. Norman Rilling and Miguel Méndez discovered the gemstone in 1974, and Méndez created the name larimar, by combining his daughter's name, Larissa, and the Spanish word for sea, Mar. Larimar is a stunning Caribbean Sea blue color, which is perfect for our sea creature inspired jewelry. With our Larimar Octopus Earrings, you can appreciate this beautiful gemstone and its history.
