From the legendary Larimar to luminous Mother of Pearl, semi-precious stones, Pearls, Shells and volcanic Lava, every material is carefully selected for its beauty, its energy and the story it carries.

“Every stone inspires a sketch. Every sketch becomes a story.”

Larimar, known as the Caribbean Gemstone, exists nowhere else on Earth. Formed by volcanic activity millions of years ago, each stone displays unique shades of ocean blue, white clouds and turquise waters that can never be replicated.
Every piece selected by TASO is chosen individually for its exceptional character before being transformed into a one of a kind work of art.
