About Us
My name is Lucy. I am a mom and a wife, and I live in the beautiful city of Weston, Florida. In my school years, many of my friends started calling me “Lucy Love” and it kind of stuck till today.
I have created this space to share two of my greatest passions, soapmaking and the artisan Larimar jewelry from my country. Always focusing to maintain the highest standards in the quality of each product and committed to the satisfaction of my clients.
My Soapmaking Journey
​
This soapmaking journey started as a hobby, motivated by my curiosity to create the perfect soap bar for me and my family. After dedicating long hours of research, reading books, learning from the experts and practicing with many skin-friendly ingredients, I finally found the right formula to get the perfect balance in the quality of my soaps.
There is an indescribable pleasure when you use a soap bar made with natural ingredients, infused with essential oils and lovely fragrances that lift your spirit and turns your bath time into a unique experience. And it’s even better when you know you are liberating your skin from the use of commercial “soaps” that contain so many harsh ingredients and chemicals, to make them cheaper and to extend their shelf life. My hobby soon blossomed into an intense passion for the art of soap making.
I started to share my soaps with family members, friends and neighbors, and their enthusiasm and positive feedback inspired me to start my small business as Lucy Love Soaps.
My Love for Larimar
​
As a Dominican woman, I feel very proud about our National Stone, not only for its outstanding beauty, but for its uniqueness. Knowing that it comes from less than one square mile in a mountainous, relatively inaccessible area in the south of the island, mined by a small group of locals, being a major driver of the community development, and how it exhibits the Dominican artisans skills, it drives me to want to share it with the world.
All that inspired me to work with local artisans in my country, to create unique high quality pieces to showcase the extraordinary beauty of this semiprecious stone. And that’s how The Larimar Place was born. Here you will find authentic Larimar from the Dominican Republic on stunning Sterling Silver 925 settings, finely handcrafted by Dominican artisans to create exceptional pieces that you will love.
Thank you for visiting my website, it means a lot to me.
