Adjustable Bracelet With One Semi Round Tahitian Pearl 9mm

Tahitian pearls are cultured pearls. Color and overtones naturally vary from pearl to pearl.

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.

The MOKUBA cord version can be worn in water. After swimming, rinse the bracelet with fresh water and let it air-dry naturally. To preserve the pearl and the link for longer, remove the piece before exercising, showering and sleeping, and limit contact with cosmetics and chlorine. Remove the leather version before swimming.

Before storing the bracelet, gently wipe the pearl and the link with a soft, dry cloth to remove 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.

What type of cord do you use for your bracelets?

Since 2011, we have used a 1.5 mm MOKUBA polyester cord reinforced with an inner nylon thread. This construction provides flexibility and durability while significantly reducing the risk of breakage during everyday wear. After more than fifteen years of use, we have not encountered recurring issues with allergies or eczema caused by friction.

Is the bracelet adjustable?

Yes. Sliding knots allow the bracelet to be easily adjusted around the wrist. You do not need to know your exact wrist measurement. In most cases, you can choose the same size as your T-shirt.

How do I choose the right bracelet size?

Men: XS (15 cm) • S (16 cm) • M (17 cm) • L (18 cm) • XL (19 cm and above)
Women: XS (14 cm) • S (15 cm) • M (16 cm) • L (17 cm) • XL (18 cm and above)
For a specific size, enter your measurement in the customization form or in the dedicated field when ordering.

Can I wear my bracelet in the water?

Yes. Our MOKUBA cord bracelets can be worn in water. After swimming in the sea or a pool, simply rinse the jewelry with fresh water and allow it to dry naturally. To preserve pearls or gemstones for as long as possible, avoid repeated exposure to chemicals, cosmetics and chlorine.

Can I wear my bracelet every day?

Yes. MOKUBA cord is particularly well suited to everyday wear. A few simple precautions will help preserve its appearance and the beauty of the pearls, gemstones or other components for longer.

How long does the cord last?

For a bracelet worn every day, including regularly in water, the cord will generally last around 3 years. This is an estimate that depends on swimming, perspiration, friction and individual wearing habits.

What happens if the cord becomes worn or breaks?

Simply contact us. Our workshop can replace the cord while preserving the pearls, gemstones and other components. Normal cord wear does not mean the end of your jewelry.

Can I choose the color of the cord?

Yes. Available colors are shown in the selector. For a different color or combination, use the customization form.

Can I choose a leather version?

Yes. Depending on the design, our adjustable bracelets can also be made with leather upon request or when this option is available. Leather gives the jewelry a different character but requires more care than MOKUBA cord.

Can I wear the leather version in the water?

We do not recommend it. As leather is an organic material, water, perspiration and repeated wet/dry cycles can gradually dry it out. Remove your leather bracelet before swimming, showering, exercising or sleeping. When dry, it can be lightly conditioned with a suitable oil or shea butter.

What is the difference between MOKUBA cord and leather?

MOKUBA cord is lightweight, durable and suitable for everyday wear, including in water. Leather offers a more organic look and develops a patina over time, but requires more care.

Can I further customize my bracelet?

Yes. Depending on the design, you can request another size, a different color, another cord, a leather version or certain changes to the composition through the customization form.

Will the bracelet I receive look exactly like the photographs?

Cultured pearls, gemstones and other natural materials may present subtle variations in shape, color, surface or tone. These differences make each bracelet slightly unique.

Can this bracelet be made for a child?

When this option is available, yes. Thanks to the sliding knots, an exact wrist measurement is not necessary. Simply select the size that best matches the child’s wrist.

Where is my bracelet assembled?

Our creations are designed and assembled in Saint-Barthélemy. Each bracelet is prepared and adjusted according to the options selected when you place your order.

How should I store my bracelet?

Before storing your bracelet, gently wipe the pearl and the cord 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.
