A distinctive braided choker combining hand-rolled kangaroo leather with Tahitian cultured pearls measuring 14 mm and 9 mm.

This choker necklace combines hand-rolled braided kangaroo leather with two Tahitian cultured pearls listed at 14 mm and 9 mm. The larger 14 mm pearl creates a strong focal point, while the second pearl adds another detail to a composition designed to sit close to the neck. Available in black, brown or beige leather, the piece has a more organic and contemporary character than a traditional pearl necklace. Every Tahitian cultured pearl naturally varies in tone, overtones, luster and subtle surface characteristics.

The necklace is offered in black, brown or beige leather. The reference length is 40 cm, and the preferred size can be selected when ordering. A full customization option is also available on the site.

About the Materials

Tahitian pearls are cultured mainly in French Polynesia using the Pinctada margaritifera oyster. They are known for their naturally varied gray and darker palettes, often with green, blue or aubergine overtones. A semi-round pearl retains a harmonious silhouette while still showing the natural individuality of each pearl.

The Kalinas & Tainos Spirit

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.

Caring for Your Jewelry

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.
