As with many beautiful stories, Anaconda was born by chance. In the 1980s, Monica opened a small shop in Milan, guided by instinct and curiosity rather than a plan. Her creations move freely between baroque opulence and pure simplicity, often inspired by primitive art. She works only with one-of-a-kind stones, embracing their natural imperfections, and favours gold in subtle hues — from soft champagne white to deep yellow and romantic rose. Deeply attached to Paris, where she once had her own boutique, Monica is delighted to see her collections come to life at WHITEbIRD.

White gold

Gold stands out for its rarity and its ability to transform. White gold offers a contemporary interpretation of this precious metal: luminous, refined, and appreciated for its discreet elegance. Designers polish it, texture it and set it with diamonds or coloured stones, revealing a material that balances radiance with modernity. The world’s major production hubs — China, Australia and Russia — remain central to gold extraction. Yet the absence of strict ethical standards has long complicated its use in jewellery. The Fairmined label, created in 2004, addresses this by guaranteeing traceability and supporting both social development and environmental protection. It allows jewellers to work with clean gold rather than conflict or chemically extracted gold. Gold has accompanied human history since antiquity. Egyptians collected it along the Nile and elevated it through ceremonial adornments; centuries later, it became the centre of conquest in Europe and the catalyst of the American Gold Rush. As a material, pure gold is too soft for jewellery. It must be alloyed — the level of purity measured in karats. France recognises 9k, 14k, and especially 18k gold, the latter composed of 75% pure gold and prized for its resistance, stability and hypoallergenic qualities. To obtain white gold’s characteristic tone, the alloy naturally includes metals such as palladium or silver. Its understated colour has made it a favourite of contemporary designers who appreciate its ability to highlight diamonds and subtle textures without excess.

Turquoise

Turquoise takes its name from the Old French turquois, meaning “Turkish,” referring to the trade route through which it reached Europe. Mined in Afghanistan, Australia, China, the United States, Iran, Mexico and Tanzania, it ranges from deep azure to vivid green. Its colour depends on its chemistry: copper creates bluer tones, chromium and vanadium produce greens, and iron introduces a touch of yellow. Containing around 18% water, turquoise can dry out, tarnish or subtly change colour over time. Its matrix patterns — where other minerals weave through the stone — give it a uniquely organic charm. Used for over 6000 years, turquoise was cherished in Ancient Egypt; Queen Zar wore it as a protective amulet. Among Apache communities, it guided hunters and warriors. Today, it remains associated with joy, optimism and emotional stability. In contemporary jewellery, turquoise is appreciated for its vibrant hues and natural texture. Pascale Monvoisin often incorporates it for its raw beauty and distinctive presence.

Opal

The word opal originates from the Sanskrit upala, meaning “precious stone,” later adapted into Greek (opallion) and Latin (opalus), both evoking the idea of shifting colour. This notion lies at the heart of opal’s identity: a mineral defined by its remarkable play of colour, varying from subtle iridescence to vivid, electric flashes. A distinction is commonly made between noble opals, prized in jewellery for their multicoloured brilliance, and common opals, which are often more uniform or translucent. Among the many varieties are black opal, known for its dramatic contrasts, and Mexican fire opal, admired for its vibrant orange hue. Major deposits are found in Australia, Brazil, Guatemala, Honduras, Japan, Mexico, Peru and the United States. Milky white opals with colour flashes remain among the most iconic. Opal has inspired countless legends. In India, a rainbow goddess is said to have transformed herself into an opal to escape persistent suitors. In Arabic tradition, opal was believed to be born from lightning, with the captured light trapped inside the stone. With its shifting hues and delicate radiance, opal captivates designers such as Brooke Gregson, Ivarene and WWAKE. It also features in our We by WHITEbIRD collection, where its unique luminosity reveals its full beauty through movement.
