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.

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.

Peridot

Two main theories exist regarding the origin of the word peridot: one traces it to the Arabic faridat (“precious stone”), while another associates it with the Greek chrysos lithos, meaning “golden stone.” Its colour — a bright green shifting from yellowish tones to deeper, olive hues — led to frequent confusion with emeralds in royal collections. Like diamonds, peridot forms deep within the Earth’s mantle. It reaches the surface only through tectonic movement and volcanic activity, travelling from several kilometres underground to the crust. First discovered on an island in the Red Sea, peridot is now mined in Myanmar, Pakistan, the United States, China and Vietnam. One of the largest known examples, a 310-carat stone, is housed at the Smithsonian Institution in Chicago. Its fresh, translucent green is admired for its clarity. In various traditions, peridot is associated with self-confidence and emotional balance, its gentle luminosity said to ease tension, jealousy or nervousness. In contemporary jewellery, designers such as Christina Magdolna and Grainne Morton use peridot in subtle accents, highlighting its pure, radiant green — both bright and refined.

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.
