Born on the shores of the Mediterranean in Marseille in Marseille. Cabinetmaker training, diver passionate about the underwater world, seashell collector, surfer and happy dancer, I started making my first jewelery arriving on Saint Barthelemy.
Surprised by the success that it meet those I have in this little paradise lost in the Caribbean, decided to put my skills to open a gallery designer “Kalinas & Tainos “in Gustavia (St. Barthelemy 97133) and” Kalinas Pearls, a portal offering a choice of creating handmade beads.
These names are derived from the first two people living in the Caribbean. This shop is unique grouping of artists creations of Saint Bartholomew.
