What is this piece made of?

This piece contains: Yellow gold Tourmaline Opal

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.

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.

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.
