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.

Lapis-lazuli

Lapis lazuli takes its name from two linguistic roots: Latin (lapis, “stone”) and Arabic (azul, “blue”). Its striking colour is the result of a combination of minerals — lazurite for its intense blue, calcite for the grey or white streaks, and pyrite for the golden flecks that resemble a constellation. Mined for more than 6,000 years in Afghanistan, where the most famous deposits are still found, lapis is also extracted in Chile (home to the world’s second-largest mine), as well as in the United States, Canada, Myanmar, Pakistan and Russia. An ornamental stone with a long artistic history, lapis has been used for mosaics, sculpture and fine decorative objects. When ground into powder, it becomes ultramarine — the precious pigment used by Michelangelo to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Associated in many traditions with courage, clarity and open communication, lapis lazuli captivates with its dense, luminous blue. Designers such as Brooke Gregson are drawn to its graphic presence and natural depth.

Iolite

Iolite takes its name from the Greek ios, meaning “violet,” a reference to its blue hues softened by subtle purple undertones. A transparent silicate with strong pleochroism, it reveals different colours depending on the viewing angle — a distinctive trait that gives the stone its quiet complexity. Found in Brazil, India and Madagascar, iolite has long been associated with orientation and clarity. The Vikings are believed to have used it as an optical filter to locate the sun on overcast days, earning it the nickname “compass stone.” In ancient Greece, it was considered sacred and used in rituals dedicated to Athena. Its hardness and slightly hazy transparency give it a calm, introspective presence. In some traditions, it is linked to emotional expression and is said to support those who tend to rely more on logic than on feeling. In contemporary jewellery, iolite is appreciated for its refined palette — a luminous, shifting blue-violet that brings a subtle yet confident touch of colour.
