24K Gold Bead Leather Bracelet – Tahitian Pearl & African Trade Beads, St Barth
$990.00
24K gold bead leather bracelet — three hand-wrapped pure gold beads, five Tahitian black pearls, rare African trade beads on premium kangaroo leather. Made to order. St Barth.
This is not a gold bead bracelet. This is three centuries of material culture on your wrist.
The gold beads at the center of this piece are made by hand — ancient African trade beads individually wrapped in thick sheets of pure 24K gold, cast and laminated by hand. Not plated. Not filled. Pure 24K gold leaf, wrapped around beads that crossed continents long before you were born. The finish is matte and finely brushed — a process that brings out the density and depth of pure gold color in a way that polished gold never achieves. Each bead is unique. Each one will never be made again exactly the same way.
Five genuine Tahitian black pearls complete the composition — 10 to 11mm, dark and lustrous, semi-baroque. Depending on the moment and available materials, the bracelet will also include a selection of rare ancient beads: old African trade pearls, carnelian, sea pebbles, turquoise, labradorite, lapis lazuli. Every bracelet tells a different story.
The cord is premium kangaroo leather — supple, dark, resistant. A men leather bracelet that wears better with every year. A solid gold bracelet without the weight of solid gold — the density of 24K wrapped around ancient cores gives the piece a presence that plated jewelry can never achieve.
This is a 24k gold bracelet for the man who knows the difference between gold and gold-colored. A pure gold bracelet built around materials that predate the jewelry industry itself. A mens gold bracelet that opens conversations. A leather bracelet that carries real weight — literally and historically.
The perfect groomsmen gift for the man who appreciates provenance. A gift for husband who has stopped being impressed by ordinary things. Bohemian jewelry at its most archeologically charged. Beach jewelry built from Africa, French Polynesia, and the sea. St barth jewelry for the collector who knows what he wants.
Made to order — tailor-made to your wrist size. Specify size upon ordering. Every piece arrives in a handcrafted treasure gift box, sealed with personalized calligraphy and a small tin of organic leather care cream.

Frequently Asked Questions
Instructions d'entretien
Your PEARLS like be brought but dislike being perfumed or creamed respecting the old adage: "the beads should be the last thing you put on and the first you remove."
The LEATHER must be hydrated whenever he shows signs of drought. If the leather is too dry or that it gives you the impression to lose its patina, simply rub it with some shea butter (tiny tin of ultra-nourishing organic leather-care cream, perfect moisturizer for your jewel includ in every gift box) as often as necessary in order to give it back its flexibility and its beauty. Water, Sun, sand, sea water, sports, daily activities, travel or work: with care, your "Treasure of St Barth" will last a lifetime and the leather, getting older, will develop a beautiful patina.
