It all started with an instinct. A belief. When I created the Messika Maison in 2005, I was 22 years old. I realised that representations of femininity were changing and multiplying. I wanted to offer diamond jewelry that reflected the spirit of the free, confident women I saw appearing. I wanted to offer luxury jewelry to give them more confidence and the strength to take their ambitions even further.
At Messika, we’re convinced that diamond jewelry is anything but an accessory. It holds some of the finest jewelry secrets, handed down from generation to generation. It encapsulates the passion of those involved in its creation. It comes alive with their personalities, creativity and emotions. At Messika, the craftsmanship of our diamond jewelry embodies the soul of our Maison.
For Valérie Messika, Founder and Artistic Director of the Messika Jewelry and High Jewelry Maison, diamond jewelry is a powerful fashion creation. Since Messika started out in Paris in 2005, she has been shaking up the codes of traditional jewelry, turning diamonds, previously limited to special occasions, into everyday companions. Get to know her through five creative principles that guide her inspirations.
Imagine diamonds sliding through your fingers. Visualise their movement. Their sparkling facets shimmer with every move. The melody of the gems as they gently slide past each other. Experience their preciousness. The thrill of their graceful touch on your skin. Move, Messika’s signature motif, was born out of this highly sensory image.
