Boucles d'oreilles Fish Balance Drop chrysoprase et malachite
Tax included.
Grainne Morton compose ses boucles d’oreilles comme des collages d’objets trouvés. Ici, un poisson doré structure chaque boucle d'oreille et relie un assemblage de camées, pierres sculptées et gemmes facettées ou sculptées, aux tonalités vert profond, ambre et jade. Les contrastes sont assumés : cœur vert intense, pierre gravée, médaillons floraux, goutte facettée. L’asymétrie fait partie du dessin, créant un équilibre inattendu entre héritage décoratif et bijou contemporain.
Une paire de boucles d’oreilles pensée pour celles et ceux qui recherchent un bijou de créateur singulier, entre cabinet de curiosités et allure affirmée.

Grainne Morton
Like a magpie, Grainne Morton collects everything that sparkles. Inspired by her Northern Irish roots — a world of craft, folklore and antiques — she transforms found treasures into poetic jewellery compositions. Now based in Edinburgh, she has made these unexpected assemblages her signature: narrative pieces balancing memory and wonder.
What is this piece made of?
This piece contains:
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.
Chrysoprase
Chrysoprase takes its name from the Greek krisos (“golden,” referring to its brightness) and prason (“leek,” for its distinctive green hue). Sourced from Germany, Australia, the United States and Madagascar, it belongs to the quartz family and is known for its vibrant, even colour that can evoke the purity of jade.
Often cut into cabochons, chrysoprase is among the oldest documented gemstones. It is said to have been worn by figures such as Alexander the Great and Frederick II of Prussia, drawn to its luminous presence and bold green tone.
Through the centuries, various traditions have associated it with harmony and calm — a stone thought to ease tensions and support emotional balance, sometimes linked to friendship and personal growth.
Its vivid colour and natural freshness continue to inspire contemporary designers such as Lito, Brooke Gregson, Cathy Waterman and Ivarene, who value its bright, expressive character.
Malachite
Malachite takes its name from the Greek malakhê, referring to the colour of mallow leaves. Its hues range from soft, pale greens to deep, vivid tones. Its signature lies in its banded patterns — natural concentric lines and ripples that make each stone utterly unique.
Found in Australia, Brazil, Colombia, the Congo, the United States, France, Mexico, Namibia and Russia, malachite is a highly distinctive, expressive gemstone. Historically prized in the decorative arts, it adorns the Malachite Room of the Grand Trianon at Versailles and the interiors of the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg.
In jewellery, malachite brings a strong, graphic presence. Viltier selected it for the Magnetic line, giving the stone a surprisingly modern resonance. Brooke Gregson and Grainne Morton also appreciate its singular aesthetic qualities.
Across various traditions, malachite has been linked to confidence, discernment and protection. It is also said to absorb surrounding energies — which is why it is often worn on its own, a stone whose visual strength is matched by its symbolic presence.
