Necklace / Bracelet 17 Tahitian Pearls

Tahitian cultured pearls are celebrated for their naturally deep and varied colors, ranging from silvery grey to green, blue and aubergine. Each pearl has its own luster, overtones and subtle surface characteristics, making every creation unique.

Kalinas & Tainos is a French-Caribbean jewelry brand founded in Saint-Barthélemy in 2011, where every creation draws inspiration from the sea, travel, and the beauty of natural materials.

At the heart of the brand is Jérémy, its founder and creative director, originally from Provence. With a lifelong passion for the underwater world, objects rich in history, and design, his journey naturally led him to the Caribbean, where the colors of the ocean, the unique light of Saint-Barthélemy, and the beauty of cultured pearls continue to inspire him every day.

For over fifteen years, Kalinas & Tainos has been designing and assembling customizable jewelry in Saint-Barthélemy, combining Tahitian, South Sea, freshwater, and Akoya cultured pearls, rare conch pearls, gemstones, ancient coins, kangaroo leather, sterling silver 925, and gold. Each creation is designed to reveal the unique character of these materials through an elegant, timeless style deeply inspired by the art of living in Saint-Barthélemy.

More than a piece of jewelry, Kalinas & Tainos seeks to convey an emotion, a travel memory, and a lasting connection to Saint-Barth. Each creation is designed to accompany its wearer through the years and stand the test of time, like the memory of a precious moment.

Remove the necklace before showering, swimming, exercising and sleeping. Water, salt, chlorine, perspiration and repeated friction can dry out the leather and accelerate wear. Let it air-dry naturally if it becomes damp.

Before storing your necklace, gently wipe the pearls and the leather with a soft, dry cloth. This removes perspiration, cosmetics and other residues that may affect the materials over time, even while the piece remains in its jewelry box. Store it separately from other jewelry to limit friction.

Can I wear this piece as both a necklace and a bracelet?

Yes. Choose a two-wrap bracelet or necklace configuration, then select the corresponding size.

Are all 17 pearls identical?

No. Each Tahitian cultured pearl has its own natural shades, luster and subtle surface characteristics, making every piece unique.

Can I wear it every day?

Yes. Our jewelry is designed for regular wear. To preserve its beauty for longer, we recommend removing it before showering, swimming, exercising or sleeping.

How should I care for the Tahitian pearls?

After wear, simply wipe them gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh cleaning products and store the piece separately when not in use.

Can this piece be customized?

Choose the configuration, size and leather color from the available options. For a special request, our team can advise on adaptations compatible with the construction and available pearls.
