HONORARY GIFTS OF FRIENDSHIP AND APPRECIATION
PRESENTED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
The Dominican Republic is the only country in the world where Larimar is found—a rare blue gemstone born in the heart of the Caribbean.
As a symbol of national pride and natural heritage, Larimar represents one of the country's greatest treasures. For many years, the Government of the Dominican Republic selected handcrafted Larimar creations by TASO as official state gifts for heads of state, members of royal families, distinguished personalities and honored guests.
Each handcrafted piece embodies the beauty of the Caribbean Sea while reflecting the culture, identity and enduring spirit of the Dominican Republic. More than a piece of jewelry, every creation carries a timeless message of friendship, respect and international goodwill.
HER MAJESTY QUEEN SOFIA OF SPAIN
Her Majesty Queen Sofía of Spain received a handcrafted 925 sterling silver Larimar necklace, a timeless creation symbolizing elegance, harmony and the spirit of the Caribbean.
JEAN PAUL GAULTIER
World-renowned fashion designer Jean-Paul Gaultier was presented with a unique handcrafted bracelet created in 925 sterling silver, combining Larimar and iron. The piece symbolizes the strength, natural beauty and cultural identity of the Dominican Republic.
MIKHAIL BARYSHNIKOV
Legendary ballet dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov was presented with a handcrafted pendant created in 925 sterling silver, featuring Larimar and stingray leather. The piece reflects TASO's distinctive artistic vision and the rich natural heritage of the Caribbean.
BARACK & MICHELLE OBAMA

First Lady Michelle Obama was presented with a handcrafted 925 sterling silver necklace featuring Mother of Pearl, Larimar and Blue Topaz—a unique creation celebrating the exceptional beauty and cultural heritage of the Dominican Republic.
“Larimar is more than a gemstone. It is a natural treasure of the Dominican Republic, a piece of the Caribbean, and a gift offered from the heart.”
