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.

Chrysoberyl

Lesser-known yet deeply compelling, chrysoberyl stands out for its unmistakable brightness. Its name comes from the Greek chrysos (“gold”) and beryllos, echoing both its golden glow and its structural kinship with beryl. Colours range from lemon yellow to soft golden green, often marked by a clear, almost glassy luminosity. Sourced mainly from Brazil, Sri Lanka and Madagascar, chrysoberyl forms within pegmatites and metamorphic rocks. Some rare varieties — such as alexandrite, a unique form of chrysoberyl — display remarkable optical effects, but even its more understated expressions retain a strong visual presence. Historically, the stone has often been associated with clarity and determination. Across cultures, it is seen as a gemstone linked to focus and inner precision. With its clean colour and confident radiance, chrysoberyl continues to appeal to contemporary jewellery designers seeking a distinctive, luminous stone with a modern edge.

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.

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.
