Our Story

A family story shaped by Dominican stones

Caribbean Gemstones was founded in 2005 by me, a German, together with my Dominican wife. It grew from our shared love for the natural treasures of the Dominican Republic: Larimar with its ocean-blue calm and Dominican amber with its warm light, rare blue glow and fascinating inclusions.

Continuing a shared love for stones

After the passing of my wife, Caribbean Gemstones became more than a business. It became a family legacy. I continue this work with respect for the stones, the country and the people behind them, while my son is slowly growing into the company and carrying the story toward the next generation.

Our focus remains personal and honest: carefully selected stones, real photos, reliable service and long-term relationships with collectors, designers, retailers and B2B partners worldwide. Every stone is unique. For us, every stone also carries a part of our own story.

Personal selection

Dominican origin, clear photos and careful presentation

Every piece begins with selection. Larimar is chosen for its ocean-blue calm, Dominican Amber for its warmth, inclusions and rare blue glow, and Atocha-style jewelry for its historic treasure feeling.

Our goal is simple: show the actual item clearly, describe it honestly and prepare it with care before it reaches the customer.
