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.

Pearl

Whether South Sea, freshwater, Keshi, Akoya, Melo, cultured or natural, pearls have long held a status equal to that of precious stones. Formed when a mollusc coats an internal irritation with successive layers of nacre, pearls emerge as softly glowing beads in shades of white, cream, grey or deep iridescent black. Once abundant in Tahiti’s lagoons, natural pearls declined sharply due to overharvesting and pollution, leading to the rise of pearl farming in the 20th century. They are also sourced from the Persian Gulf, Japan and the many archipelagos of the Pacific. Among the great historical pearls, La Peregrina remains one of the most remarkable: discovered in the 15th century in the Gulf of Panama, weighing nearly 56 carats, it was gifted to King Philip II of Spain, later worn by Mary Tudor and immortalised by Velázquez. In 1969, Richard Burton famously purchased it for Elizabeth Taylor, who had Cartier redesign it as a necklace. It sold at auction in 2011 for $11.8 million. Reinterpreted today by designers such as Sophie Bille Brahe, Lia Di Gregorio, WWAKE and Alighieri, the pearl continues to assert its quiet power. Its natural glow—subtle, refined, unmistakably tactile—offers a timeless balance between restraint and elegance.

Tourmaline

Tourmaline takes its name from the Sinhalese turmali, meaning “stone of mixed colours,” a fitting tribute to its remarkable diversity — more than thirty varieties ranging from subtle hues to striking colour combinations. Among them are elbaite, which can appear colourless, blue, green or pink, and the sought-after “watermelon” tourmaline with its pink centre and green rim. Found in Afghanistan, Mozambique, Brazil, Madagascar, Russia and the United States, tourmaline is one of the most versatile gemstones in the mineral kingdom. Across cultures, it is associated with protection and balance. In parts of Africa, among Native American communities and within Australian Aboriginal traditions, it is regarded as a talisman capable of absorbing negative energy. In contemporary jewellery, its vibrant palette appeals to every sensibility. Our designers love the way its colours recall a collection of precious confections — a joyful, expressive and endlessly varied stone.
