Terres d'Instinct
MESSIKA CELEBRATES 20 YEARS OF CREATION AND UNVEILS "TERRES D’INSTINCT"
Rooted in Namibia, exalted by the radiance of colored gems, the new High Jewelry collection pays tribute to the landscapes, wildlife, and vibrant lights of Southern Africa. Valérie Messika drew her inspiration during a journey to Namibia, in the heart of boundless expanses; a profound encounter with raw nature and striking contrasts.
From the mineral shimmer of the Kalahari to the fiery dunes of the Namib, from the feline grace of the cheetah to the majesty of the lion, each creation pushes the boundaries of emotion and expression. Valérie Messika channels her vision into High Jewelry creations inspired by Namibia, Botswana, and South Africa, infused with a contemporary sensibility.
With sixteen original sets, the first chapter of Terres d’Instinct opens as a manifesto of liberated style.
Drawn from the breath of the desert, Mirage echoes the slow drift of Sossusvlei’s dunes. Volumes ripple and settle in brushed gold and pavé relief, a mirage caught in motion, where contours dissolve and beauty rests between reverie and design.
Shaped by the raw echo of stone and burning winds, Kalahara emerges from a land of contrast and light. Four silhouettes unfold in brushed gold and pavé brilliance, crowned by a nearly 35-carat yellow diamond, bright as the desert’s sovereign sun.
Fauve is power, carved. Brushed gold bears the marks of a pure form torn by a lion’s claw, bold incisions that cut deep into matter then yield to pavé light. Power is not shown but felt, ripped beneath the surface.
The force of opposites, held in perfect tension. Onyx and baguette-cut diamonds articulate a sculptural rhythm, traced with graphic precision. At its heart, 2 shield-cut diamonds anchor an architectural design inspired by the bearer of stripes.
