Chocker Necklace 1 Semi Round Tahitian Pearl 9,5mm

The Tahitian pearl is a cultured pearl produced primarily by the Pinctada margaritifera oyster in French Polynesia. This 9.5 mm semi-round pearl features green overtones whose intensity shifts with the angle and light.

Luster, color and surface characteristics contribute to each pearl’s individual identity and make every necklace 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 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.

Are the pearl’s green overtones natural?

Yes. Tahitian pearls are produced by the Pinctada margaritifera pearl oyster, whose naturally dark nacre can display a remarkable variety of colors. Green shades, including deep and “peacock” overtones, are among the most highly appreciated characteristics of Tahitian pearls.

What is a Mokuba cord?

Since 2011, we have used a jewelry-quality Mokuba polyester cord, internally reinforced with a nylon filament. Its delicate appearance keeps the pearl at the center of the design while providing a lightweight, comfortable construction particularly suited to our adjustable jewelry.

How does the sliding system work?

The sliding knots allow you to adjust the choker to your preferred length. To preserve the construction, handle the sliding knots directly and avoid pulling forcefully on the pearl or cord.

Can I swim or shower while wearing this choker?

We do not recommend it. Although the Mokuba cord is resistant, repeated immersion, chlorine, seawater, perspiration and wet/dry cycles can accelerate its natural wear. They may also gradually affect the pearl’s appearance. We recommend removing your jewelry before showering, swimming or exercising.

Always believe in the pearl in you!

How should I store my necklace?

Before storing your necklace, 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.
