Long and Chocker Necklace 3 Tahitian Pearls

An iconic Saint-Barth design, instantly recognizable by its play on length and its three Tahitian pearls worn at the front.

This long necklace features one 12 mm and two 11 mm Tahitian cultured pearls, selected for their beautiful quality, luster and depth of natural color. Set on hand-rolled kangaroo leather, they create a fluid, elegant piece full of character.

What makes this design truly distinctive is its construction: a single necklace combines a long sautoir with an integrated choker. All three pearls are worn at the front, creating an original play of lines: one pearl highlights the choker, while the other two accent the long, flowing section of the necklace. Together, they frame both the neck and décolleté in one continuous design.

This distinctive construction has made it one of the iconic designs of the Kalinas & Tainos universe in Saint-Barthélemy: relaxed yet elegant, created to showcase the beauty of the pearls while preserving the lightness that characterizes our leather jewelry.

Choose your leather in black, brown or beige, your preferred necklace length, as well as your Tahitian pearl color preference. As every pearl is unique, we select from the shades available at the time of creation to achieve the most beautiful harmony.

If you have a particular combination in mind, for example, three pearls in different colors, contrasting shades or a specific color arrangement, simply use our customization form to tell us what you would like. Our team will select the pearls according to your request and the availability in our workshop.

The Creator’s Perspective

“What makes this design distinctive is how differently it can be worn. At full length, the three pearls punctuate the leather with a relaxed sense of movement; worn closer to the neck, they immediately gain presence. The 12 and 11 mm diameters create a natural rhythm without forcing perfect symmetry.” — Jérémy

About the Materials

Tahitian pearls are cultured pearls produced mainly by the Pinctada margaritifera oyster in French Polynesia. Their natural palette ranges from silvery gray to deeper shades, sometimes displaying green, blue or aubergine overtones. Semi-baroque pearls have a gently irregular silhouette that retains overall balance while emphasizing the individual character 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, the leather 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.
