One-of-a-kind braided leather necklace with raw peridot

Peridot is a natural stone whose color, inclusions and outlines are specific to each specimen. The cultured pearl also has its own shades and surface details. In the Kalinas selection, BC means a few slight imperfections and beautiful luster. The kangaroo leather is hand-rolled by our team, then braided.

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 storing the jewelry, gently wipe the stone, pearl, leather and metal elements with a soft, dry cloth. Perspiration, cosmetics and other deposits can damage them over time, even inside a jewelry box. Remove the jewelry for showering, swimming, sport and sleep. Avoid perfume, cleaning products and repeated friction. After accidental contact with moisture, let it dry naturally before storing it, away from heat.
