4. Astro lovers 

“Natural stones can truly tell their wearer’s story, revealing his or her character and particular beauty.” Brooke Gregson

Constellations, birthstones, lithotherapy... There is nothing more personal for fans of astrology and energies than a piece of jewellery linked to their star sign! Some of our creators such as Sofia Zakia and Brooke Gregson very often draw their inspiration from the planets, constellations, ancient myths and the magic of stones.

To guide you, here is a list of the 12 gemstones that correspond to each month of the year:

January : Garnet
February : Amethyst
March : Aquamarine
April : Diamond
May : Emerald
June : Pearl
July : Ruby
August : Peridot
September : Saphire
October : Tourmaline
November : Citrine
Decembre : Topaz

To find all our jewels associated with each stone, use our stone and metal guide in the Info-services section in the menu.

If you'd like to find out more about stones, their aura and all the symbolism they hold, we invite you to explore our complete birthstone guide.

5. Artist Jewellery: the perfect gift for creative souls

It can sometimes seem difficult to spoil artists or find the perfect gift for a creative soul. Fear of disappointing them, not original enough, the choice is certainly difficult, but far from impossible! Designed for aesthetes, this curation highlights jewellers' creations that fascinate with their technique and precision, as well as textured pieces in a more abstract and organic spirit. 

With Noguchi and HUM, Japanese poetry comes to life through delicate textures and patinated gold, playing subtly with light and finesse. 

Alice Waese, painter and sculptor, explores a raw, organic aesthetic, where each piece seems to melt, as if frozen in a moment of pure creation.

Nikollë Radi, a New York-based jeweller from Kosovo, sublimates technique with platinum lace and levitating precious stones, using tools that he designs himself - unheard-of expertise at the crossroads of craftsmanship and innovation.

As for Karen Chekerdjian, a multidisciplinary Lebanese designer, she imagines jewellery as miniature sculptures, portable objets d'art that embody her unique vision of design.

Perfect for collectors of art objects, these pieces transcend jewellery to become real collectors' items to be worn!

6. Contemporary Jewellery: the perfect gift for minimalists

Following in the footsteps of designers such as Vivianna Torun and Alexandre Calder, leaders of the movement in the 1960s, contemporary art jewellery masters the art of balance. Sleek but never boring, they are magnetic, sometimes subtle, always elegant.

While we adore originality, we also appreciate timeless essentials. This selection features fine, delicate jewellery that feels like a natural extension of your skin—a subtle ring to complete an existing stack or a necklace you’ll never take off.

Precious and ethical jewellery

WHITEbIRD was born from a deep desire to put humans at the centre of creation. By putting forward creators who work in an artisanal way, in their own studio or in partnership with small workshops, it is our wish to promote jewelry on a human scale, respectful of the hands and materials that make it beautiful.

On the occasion of this gift guide, we highlight creators who are committed to have a production line that is ethical and responsible. Here is an opportunity to offer a unique and original piece of jewellery, which radiates both beauty and humane values.
