Pearl

Whether South Sea, freshwater, Keshi, Akoya, Melo, cultured or natural, pearls have long held a status equal to that of precious stones. Formed when a mollusc coats an internal irritation with successive layers of nacre, pearls emerge as softly glowing beads in shades of white, cream, grey or deep iridescent black. Once abundant in Tahiti’s lagoons, natural pearls declined sharply due to overharvesting and pollution, leading to the rise of pearl farming in the 20th century. They are also sourced from the Persian Gulf, Japan and the many archipelagos of the Pacific. Among the great historical pearls, La Peregrina remains one of the most remarkable: discovered in the 15th century in the Gulf of Panama, weighing nearly 56 carats, it was gifted to King Philip II of Spain, later worn by Mary Tudor and immortalised by Velázquez. In 1969, Richard Burton famously purchased it for Elizabeth Taylor, who had Cartier redesign it as a necklace. It sold at auction in 2011 for $11.8 million. Reinterpreted today by designers such as Sophie Bille Brahe, Lia Di Gregorio, WWAKE and Alighieri, the pearl continues to assert its quiet power. Its natural glow—subtle, refined, unmistakably tactile—offers a timeless balance between restraint and elegance.

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.

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.

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.

Lapis-lazuli

Lapis lazuli takes its name from two linguistic roots: Latin (lapis, “stone”) and Arabic (azul, “blue”). Its striking colour is the result of a combination of minerals — lazurite for its intense blue, calcite for the grey or white streaks, and pyrite for the golden flecks that resemble a constellation. Mined for more than 6,000 years in Afghanistan, where the most famous deposits are still found, lapis is also extracted in Chile (home to the world’s second-largest mine), as well as in the United States, Canada, Myanmar, Pakistan and Russia. An ornamental stone with a long artistic history, lapis has been used for mosaics, sculpture and fine decorative objects. When ground into powder, it becomes ultramarine — the precious pigment used by Michelangelo to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Associated in many traditions with courage, clarity and open communication, lapis lazuli captivates with its dense, luminous blue. Designers such as Brooke Gregson are drawn to its graphic presence and natural depth.

Tanzanite

Tanzanite takes its name from Tanzania, where it was discovered in the 1960s after storms around Mount Kilimanjaro. Originally brownish, it develops its blue-violet colour when exposed to heat. A trichroic gemstone, it can display blue, violet and bronze tones depending on the crystal’s orientation. Some fancy tanzanites even show striking multicoloured flashes. Found only in a 20 km² area in northern Tanzania, it is one of the rarest gemstones in the world. The Queen of Kilimanjaro, a 242-carat tanzanite set by Tiffany, remains its most famous example. Associated with creativity and self-expression, tanzanite inspires designers such as Brooke Gregson and Pippa Small, who value its balance of depth and softness.
