\"Jorge
Jorge Luis FELIZ<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

My name is Jorge Lu\u00eds F\u00e9liz<\/strong>. I am 32 years old and I was born and raised in the Ci\u00e9naga de Barahona in the south-west of the Dominican Republic, about 20 kilometers from the Larimar mine<\/strong> and 40 kilometers from Barahona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I was 23, I had to suddenly drop out of college and decided to take technical craft courses.
Apart from the coconut and wire crafts, I learned how to work the Larimar stone and the jewelry associated with Larimar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later, I was able to do a complete lapidary course and an advanced jewelry course<\/strong>..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout my training, I learned to carve stone<\/strong> in various workshops in the communities of La Ci\u00e9naga de Barahona and Bahoruco.
At the same time I started selling my own productions<\/strong> on a wooden table near the Los Patos river. Soon, I was able to set up a small stand near the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Jorge<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

At that time I made the garments (jewelry and fantasies) in a small workshop that I had set up in my house. After 2 years I was able to have a larger workshop between Ojeda and Los Patos, to finally move back to La Ci\u00e9naga where I could build an even more comfortable workshop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today I am set again in Los Patos with a workshop that includes 2 positions: a carver that I trained and a driller who does the finishes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Passionate about Larimar and contact with people, very soon I began to sell my productions in the community of Los Patos, where I had a greater opportunity to contact tourists and small hotels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, my workshop and showroom are located just minutes from downtown Los Patos.
<\/strong>It is a charming place surrounded by countryside, palm trees, beautiful views of the beach and the Caribbean Sea that invite you to peace<\/strong>.
The public can visit us to discover how the stone is worked and acquire the Larimar in raw form, carved or mounted in quality jewelry<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love socializing with people and I like to present my work, which I do with passion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I am in love with Larimar stone because of the variety of its colors and the properties<\/strong> <\/a>it has.
It is a rare, unique stone and I am very proud that it is found only in my country<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Larimar is said to bring luck<\/strong> and encourage the positive energy<\/strong> one needs from day to day.
I myself have my talismans<\/strong> and I always bring a Larimar stone to my contact to bring me luck<\/strong>!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I speak a little English and French.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dominican-Larimar workshop and showroom can be visited every day from 8 AM to 6 PM.
<\/strong>You will be able to see how we work the Larimar and buy our productions live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
