Yellow gold

Gold has long been celebrated for its warmth, its glow and its remarkable versatility. Yellow gold, in particular, is the metal in its most traditional expression — the colour that traverses centuries and civilisations. Designers sculpt it, texture it, hammer it or set it with diamonds and coloured stones, revealing a material that is both noble and endlessly adaptable. China, Australia and Russia remain today the world’s leading gold producers. Yet the limited ethical regulations governing extraction have long cast a shadow over its use in jewellery. This is why the Fairmined label was created in 2004: to guarantee the traceability of gold and ensure its positive impact on social development and environmental protection. Thanks to this certification, gold can now be considered “clean”, as opposed to conflict gold or gold extracted using harmful processes. Used since prehistory, gold was one of the first coloured metals mastered by ancient metallurgists. In Egypt, it was collected in small quantities along the Nile and elevated through religious ornamentation. Later, European conquistadors seized its value, while the American Gold Rush shaped an entire region of the West. Today, gold still plays a central economic role and is traded on major international exchanges. In its pure form, however, it remains too soft to be used alone in jewellery. It must be alloyed with other metals, measured in karats. The French market recognises 9k, 14k and especially 18k gold — the latter composed of 75% pure gold, ideal for its durability, stability and non-allergenic properties. 22k gold, intensely yellow and emblematic in India, is also used by certain designers.

Ruby

Ruby takes its name from the Latin rubeus, meaning “red.” A member of the corundum family, it owes its vivid to deep crimson hues to traces of chromium within the crystal. Exceptionally rare, ruby is among the most coveted gemstones, with the majority of the world’s finest stones still originating from Burma. Introduced around 500 BC by the Etruscans and Greeks, ruby has long been associated with strength, leadership and protection. Across cultures, it is believed to calm anxiety and reinforce courage. Its fiery colour gives ruby its unmistakable character. The value of a ruby depends on the saturation of its hue, its clarity and the nature of its inclusions — subtle internal features that serve as the stone’s natural signature. The most esteemed colour grade, known as “pigeon’s blood,” remains extraordinarily rare. In contemporary jewellery, its intensity captivates designers such as Karen Liberman, Cathy Waterman and Yasuko Azuma, who highlight its rich glow and magnetic presence. A gemstone whose visual power endures through time.

Sapphire

Sapphire takes its name from the ancient Greek sappheiros, meaning “blue stone,” though some trace it to the Hebrew saphar, “to engrave.” Known for its exceptional resistance to scratching — second only to diamond — sapphire is used not only in fine jewellery but also in watch crystals, camera lenses and certain smartphone components. Found in the United States, Canada and various tropical regions, sapphire belongs to the corundum family. While it is most often associated with blue, its spectrum is remarkably wide: greens, purples, pinks, oranges, yellows, and the celebrated star sapphires, displaying an asterism created by multidirectional light refraction. Across traditions, sapphire symbolises truth, loyalty and strength. Its saturated colour and steady brilliance give it a quiet authority, often linked to clarity and sincerity. In contemporary jewellery, designers such as Polly Wales and Ruth Tomlinson value sapphire for its versatility and expressive palette, using it to create pieces that feel both textured and luminous.

Emerald

Emerald takes its name from the Sanskrit açmagarbha, meaning “stone heart.” Rare and inherently delicate, it forms only under exceptional geological conditions, where pressure, heat and traces of chromium or vanadium converge to produce its unmistakable green. Its natural inclusions — poetically called “gardens” — are not flaws but signatures, revealing the personality and origin of each stone. Among the most sought-after curiosities is the trapiche emerald, a formation in which the crystal grows into a six-pointed star — a geological rarity prized by collectors. Across cultures, emerald has symbolised renewal, fertility, love and wisdom. Its colour — never perfectly even — appears almost alive, shifting between vivid greens and subtle blue undertones, always with depth. Contemporary designers highlight these nuances with sensitivity: Elhanati and Brooke Gregson embrace its organic variations, while Brazilian designer Fernando Jorge works with stones sourced directly from his homeland. A gemstone whose character lies not in perfection, but in the traces of time and pressure that shaped it — a green that carries its own story.

Spinel

Spinel takes its name from the Latin spinella, meaning “little thorn,” in reference to the sharply edged shape of its crystals. Long overlooked, it was often mistaken for ruby or sapphire, as its colours can be equally vivid. Today, spinel is recognised as a gemstone in its own right, valued for the breadth of its palette: red spinel, cobalt-blue spinel, lavender and purple spinels, pink and “fancy” varieties, the rare star spinel, and the refined, timeless black spinel. Major deposits are found in Madagascar, Burma, Afghanistan, Vietnam and Tanzania. Spinel has a longstanding connection with royalty: the 353-carat World Tribute is housed in Buckingham Palace; two large spinels belonging to Anne of Brittany once formed part of the French crown jewels before their disappearance; in Russia, a 414-carat spinel crowns Catherine the Great’s regalia, preserved in the Kremlin Armoury. Iran also holds a remarkable collection of around one hundred spinels. Traditionally considered a protective stone, spinel is associated with courage and emotional balance, and is sometimes said to encourage healthy detachment. In contemporary jewellery, its wide range of hues appeals to designers such as Alice Waese and Dorette, who value its clean brilliance, depth and inherently modern character.
