Gold-plated

Gold-plated jewellery combines the look of gold with an accessible approach to design. It consists of a base metal — often brass or silver — coated with a thin layer of gold through electroplating. While its gold layer is lighter than vermeil, gold-plated jewellery allows for expressive shapes, playful proportions and contemporary styles at a more approachable price. Because its coating is thinner, gold-plated jewellery evolves more quickly over time. A soft patina may appear, especially on pieces worn daily or exposed to friction. Many consider this part of its charm, though refreshing the plating is always possible if one prefers to restore the original shine. How to care for it? Avoid water, perfumes, lotions and household products. Store each piece separately to protect the surface. Clean gently with a soft dry cloth — without abrasive products — to preserve the gold finish as long as possible. Gold-plated at WHITEbIRD At WHITEbIRD, gold-plated pieces appear in contemporary designs like Tom Wood pieces that play with lines, movement and volume. A material chosen for its accessibility, its brightness and its ability to bring a golden touch to everyday jewellery.

Amazonite

Named after the Amazon River — where it was mistakenly believed to have been found — amazonite is actually sourced today from regions such as Brazil, Russia, the United States and Madagascar. A variety of microcline feldspar, it is recognised for its captivating shades of turquoise and green, often streaked with delicate white veins. Its softness and distinctive colour make it a favourite for jewellery, decorative objects and expertly cut cabochons. Throughout history, amazonite has been associated with symbolic qualities. In various traditions, it is believed to encourage harmony, communication and clarity of intention. Some see it as a stone that brings a sense of serenity or helps soothe emotional tension, though these interpretations remain rooted in cultural beliefs rather than scientific evidence. Appreciated for its natural elegance, amazonite appears in contemporary jewellery in a range of intensities — from soft, pastel green to vibrant turquoise.

Aquamarine

Ranging from the clear blue of open water to the green-blue of a tropical lagoon, aquamarine takes its name from the Latin aqua marina, meaning “sea water.” Its colour is linked to traces of iron within the mineral, and varies according to its origin. The deeper the blue, the rarer and more coveted the stone becomes. A member of the beryl family — alongside emerald and morganite — aquamarine is primarily sourced from Pakistan and Brazil, where exceptionally large specimens, sometimes exceeding 100 kg, have been discovered. Its clarity, luminosity and subtle variations of tone have long appealed to designers such as Ruth Tomlinson and Pippa Small, and it also features in our in-house collection We by WHITEbIRD. Across different cultures, aquamarine has been associated with symbolic meanings. Some traditions view it as a stone that fosters harmony in relationships or protects travellers, particularly sailors. With its serene palette and natural brilliance, aquamarine continues to be one of the most sought-after gemstones in contemporary jewellery.

Carnelian

Carnelian is a warm-toned variety of quartz, ranging from translucent orange to deeper reddish-brown hues. Its colour comes from traces of iron within the mineral, giving the stone its gentle, almost velvety glow. Found since antiquity in regions such as India, Brazil and the Arabian Peninsula, carnelian was widely used for seals, talismans and jewellery. Its durability and fine grain made it a favourite material for intaglio engraving in Greek and Roman cultures. Across different traditions, the stone has been associated with vitality, courage and inner grounding. Its natural warmth and lively reflections contribute to this sense of energy and presence. Today, carnelian continues to attract designers who value its sunlit colour and smooth, expressive character — a gemstone with both depth and radiance.

Coral

Coral is a marine material that grows underwater in branching, tree-like formations. Used in jewellery since antiquity, it exists in several varieties: red coral from Japan or the Mediterranean, golden coral from China, and black coral from the Pacific, all originating from reefs in warm seas. Today, its harvesting is strictly regulated to protect the ecosystems in which it thrives. Valued for its vibrant presence, coral is often used sparingly by designers who appreciate its bold colour and symbolic resonance. Commonly associated with vitality and joie de vivre, coral is also linked to confidence and courage. In various traditions, it is seen as a comforting material with protective or healing qualities. Highly prized since antiquity, it once adorned Celtic helmets, Chinese miniature talismans and the ceremonial finery of African kings. A unique material — between mineral and organic — that continues to inspire contemporary jewellery.

Quartz

Quartz derives its name from the ancient Greek krystallos, meaning “ice,” a reference to its clarity, which early philosophers — including Theophrastus — believed to be eternal, frozen water. Ubiquitous across continents, it is mined extensively in Brazil, the United States, France, Austria and Madagascar. Across cultures, quartz has carried strong symbolic significance. For some Native American tribes, it was a sacred material to which offerings were made. Among Aboriginal shamans, it is still viewed as a tool for insight and vision. Often described as a “master stone” in crystal traditions, quartz is said to amplify the properties of other minerals and open new pathways of thought. Its variety is one of its defining qualities: – clear quartz, or rock crystal, valued for its purity; – rutilated quartz, threaded with golden needles, used by Ivarene, Anaconda and Pascale Monvoisin; – rose quartz, adored by Pippa Small; – smoky quartz, warm and subtly tinted; – blue quartz, used by Lito Fine Jewellery; – lemon quartz, bright and vibrant, used by Disa Allsop. Beyond jewellery, quartz is fundamental to modern technology: it is found in the components of smartphones, cameras, computers and televisions due to its exceptional vibrational stability. Versatile, luminous and rich in cultural history, quartz remains one of the world’s most widely used minerals — and a material of choice for contemporary designers.

Topaze

Topaz takes its name from the Greek topazios, referring to an island in the Red Sea where it was believed to have been found in antiquity. Its colour range is among the widest in the mineral world: pale to deep blues, golden yellows, soft pinks, champagne tones and even colourless varieties. Major deposits are located in Brazil, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nigeria and Russia. Many stones display a clean, glass-like brilliance that highlights the precision of their cut. Associated with clarity, confidence and emotional calm, topaz is often seen as a soothing stone. Its crisp luminosity, sometimes touched with icy reflections, gives it a quietly radiant presence in contemporary jewellery. A versatile and refined gemstone, capable of expressing both the freshness of a cool blue and the warmth of a golden hue.

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.
