French jewellery designers: the WHITEbIRD edit

Paris has always had its own language when it comes to jewellery. At WHITEbIRD, we bring together French designers who each speak it in their own way: established names, emerging talents and a shared commitment to craftsmanship. Each piece is made by hand, designed to last and, above all, to be worn without waiting for a special occasion.

The names shaping French designer jewellery

Dorette has made coloured gemstones her own vocabulary. Tourmalines, garnets, topazes: colour is never simply decorative in her work. It shapes each piece and gives it its character.

Pascale Monvoisin helped make 9-carat gold desirable. A deliberate choice, more resistant and accessible than 18-carat gold, it lends itself naturally to fine jewellery designed to be worn every day, without being overly precious about it.

Tamara Taichman brings the eye of the Paris fashion world to jewellery. Her pieces play with clothing and silhouette, with the ease of someone who knows the codes — and exactly when to break them.

Distinctive signatures

Seed is a designer shaped by travel. She works with rudraksha seeds, used for centuries in India and the Himalayas in meditation malas, bringing them into a contemporary jewellery vocabulary. A material rich in meaning, worn with lightness.

Sarah Appleton brings a twist to classicism. Working with 18-carat gold and marquise-cut diamonds, she uses the stone’s elongated shape to stretch the line and bring an unexpected edge to even the most timeless pieces.

Lah Paris is proudly 100% made in France. Passivated 925 silver designed to resist tarnishing, 100% recycled and ethically certified vermeil, and Murano glass beads blown in the Dordogne: every material has an origin, and the brand makes a point of telling its story.

Viltier is one of the rising names in our selection. Its signature Magnetic collection draws inspiration from the Art Deco movement, while its birthstone pendants offer a contemporary take on a classic personal gift.

We by WHITEbIRD, our own collection

Our We by WHITEbIRD collection is an extension of the WHITEbIRD eye: elegant, modern jewellery made for everyday life as much as the moments that matter.

With Jelly, created in collaboration with Inès de la Fressange, we revisit the cocktail ring. Generous coloured gemstones are set in 9-carat gold to create pieces that feel both effortless and bold — jewellery far too good to save for the evening.

Choosing a French designer jewel

9 or 18-carat gold, recycled vermeil, coloured gemstones or sacred seeds: choosing a piece of French designer jewellery is also about understanding its materials.

Every piece in this selection is handcrafted, using carefully sourced materials and gemstones, and carries the signature of an independent designer rather than an anonymous name.

Discover our French jewellery designers in our three Paris boutiques or online, and let our team guide you towards the piece that feels like yours.
