Entwined in its rich and passion-filled heritage, diamonds jewelry are the beating heart of the Maison. Messika taps into this exceptional expertise to help you choose the best diamond jewelry for you. When picking out your next piece of gold diamond jewelry, the 4Cs are a useful guide: • Carat means weight (1 carat weighs 0.2 grams)• Clarity is based on inclusions (ranging from perfectly pure F to VS2) • Colour variation is graded from D (colourless) to Z (darker) – note that Messika is committed to exceptional standards and only sets stones from D to G • Cut determines shape and faceting This last criterion is hugely important to a stone’s shine. It also has a direct impact on the general design of a diamond jewelry piece. Marquise, round and pear faceted cuts will maximise the scintillation and brilliance of a diamond while step, emerald and baguette cuts will give your piece an original depth. And if you can’t decide? The My Twin collection combines the depth of an emerald cut with the radiance of an oval cut to create highly inspiring pieces.
A symbol of innovation and movement, the Move diamond jewelry captures the essence of Messika design. A unique and iconic concept, the diamonds in the Move collection sit in closed settings and drift from one side of a precious gold capsule to the other.
