Cotton and Tahitian Pearl Hooped Bracelet

In the 1970s, just as Tahitian pearl farming was taking off, a young French surfer on a trip to Tahiti made a discovery that would revolutionize men's jewelry. Fascinated by the beauty of black pearls, he had the idea of combining them with a simple waxed cotton cord, thus creating the first men's bracelet to incorporate a Tahitian pearl.

This innovative concept combined the robustness of waxed cotton, capable of withstanding salt water and sporting activities, with the natural elegance of Tahitian pearls. The contrast between the simplicity of the bracelet and the sophistication of the pearl quickly won over locals and tourists alike.

Back in France, the surfer began producing these bracelets in small series. The Tahitian pearl bracelet quickly became a symbol of travel and adventure, prized by men looking for an accessory that was both masculine and refined.

Over the years, this trend spread, giving rise to a veritable industry. Today, the Tahitian pearl bracelet for men has become a classic in men's jewelry, combining the bohemian spirit of the cotton bracelet with the preciousness of the pearl.
