STEP 1: AN IMPORTANT MEETING

Choosing an engagement ring is undoubtedly a complex and challenging process that requires time. How do you get it right? How much should you spend? What style will you enjoy today, as well as tomorrow and in 20 years’ time?

To help you identify your dream diamond, all our creations start with a meeting. A meeting with one of our Ambassadors, an expert advisor in gemmology, who will guide you through the creative process. Whether you come by yourself or with your future partner, we invite you to attend an initial private appointment in one of our boutiques.

This meeting is an opportunity to discuss your style or that of your loved one, their tastes, your inspirations, their desires, etc. During the discussion, we will be able to better define the jewel of your dreams, according to your budget and lifestyle. This essential step is a time to exchange, share and discover.

STEP 2: CHOOSING THE SETTING

The setting refers to the way in which the stones are set or mounted on a metal ring. The ring setting is designed to enhance the beauty of the diamond on the engagement ring. Do you want it to be lightweight? Modern? Timeless? Opulent? Rock? Yellow gold, pink gold or white gold? Platinum? A claw setting or another type? With or without an engraving?

There are numerous customisation options to choose from with the help of your consultant, allowing you to create the setting of your dreams which is entirely unique for you. Each setting, no matter its style, is handmade and made-to-measure in order to enhance the shape and size of the selected diamond.
Only the meticulous work of our expert setters allows the stone to reveal its full radiance.

Discover a variety of styles, from traditional solitaire diamond engagement rings to more contemporary diamond pavé or diamond halo designs, each one is made using unrivalled craftsmanship and respect for our impeccable quality standards.

STEP 3: CHOOSING THE STONE

The choice of stone is an essential step in the creation of your jewelry piece. Like a human fingerprint, each diamond has its own specific characteristics. The 4Cs: colour, clarity, cut and carat, are the four universal standards used to assess the quality of a diamond.

For 50 years, Messika has been dedicated to finding the most beautiful diamonds: those that not only meet the scientifically defined criteria of colour and purity, but those which also, through their proportions and perfect shapes, possess a unique spirit and harmonious beauty to create the unique character of each stone. Each Messika diamond undergoes a rigorous selection process. Obtained from responsible sources, cut with the utmost care, and examined and re-examined by expert gemmologists, only 0.5% of them will pass this stage and satisfy Messika’s exacting eye to become a stone of emotion.

Round, pear, marquise, princess, cushion or emerald-cut... Each diamond shape has its own unique qualities. Discover which shape of diamond reflects your personality and love.

STEP 4: CREATING THE RING

After the setting and stone have been chosen, your ring can be made. In our secret workshops, diamond and metal are intertwined to become one. Thanks to the hands of our expert jewelers, the strokes of our master setters and the wires of our polishers, your jewelry piece is brought to life. Entirely handmade, this long and meticulous work requires great patience and expertise.

The end result is a precious ring carefully protected in a stunning white and pink gold case designed by Messika. When you open it, a hidden beam of light illuminates the jewel, projecting the fiery radiance of the diamond that is revealed before your bedazzled eyes.

By its side, you will find the certificate of authenticity issued by Messika as well as the internationally recognised GIA laboratory certificate for diamonds over 0.30ct. This document describes the essential characteristics of your diamond, from its 4C rating to its unique laser-inscribed serial number.
