Wearing an antique coin lets history continue its journey on your wrist.

This bracelet combines braided kangaroo leather with an antique 2 reales coin measuring approximately 23 mm, complemented by a 9.5 mm Tahitian cultured pearl that serves as the clasp. The coin gives the jewelry its historical character, while the Tahitian pearl creates a more organic, contemporary contrast. Each antique coin may have a different strike, patina and irregularities, giving every finished piece its own character.

About the Materials

The real was a Spanish monetary unit used for several centuries, including across territories of the Spanish Empire. Old 2 reales coins circulated widely in the Hispanic world. In this bracelet, the historical coin is paired with a Tahitian cultured pearl produced by the Pinctada margaritifera pearl oyster in French Polynesia.

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 bracelet 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. Do not polish the ancient coin or use abrasive products: its patina is part of its history.

Before storing your bracelet, gently wipe the ancient coin, the pearl 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.
