Hoop earrings with apatite beads

Apatite is a gemstone. The photographed hoops are sterling silver 925; gold-plated and solid gold alternatives are clearly distinguished in the selector.

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.

Before storage, gently wipe the stones and metal elements with a soft, dry cloth. Perspiration, cosmetics and other deposits can damage them over time, even in a jewelry box. Avoid perfume, household cleaners, impacts and friction. Remove the jewelry for showering, swimming, sport and sleep. After accidental contact with moisture, let it dry naturally away from heat before storing it separately.

Which version is shown in the photos?

The photos show 30 mm sterling silver 925 hoops, with an 8 mm apatite bead on each earring. This pair is included at €50. Other metals and diameters display their supplements in the selector.

What should I do before storing it?
