A CONTEMPORARY JEWELRY
Since its origins, Maison Messika has succeeded in combining the
timelessness of the diamond with a modern touch. Diamond
jewelry in a contemporary style to be worn every day.
A FREE & BOLD DESIGNER
From its very first collections, the jewels that took shape
in Valérie’s imagination and in the skilled hands of her
artisans, goldsmiths, stone cutters and setters were
exciting and exuberant, revolutionary yet underpinned
with a deep reverence for her legacy, and driven by her
personal passion for the king of gems. Much of
Valérie’s inspiration comes from art, playing with a
Calder sculpture in her father’s office, absorbing
from his collection various details of line, movement,
colour, composition, which have shaped her overall
sense of form and proportion. Inspiration clearly also
comes from street style, imbuing Messika Jewelry with
a dynamic urban beat. She draws inspiration too from
fashion, haute couture, and from the great classical
themes of jewellery history, which are contemporised
and rejuvenated through her vision.
JEWELRY IN MOVEMENT
In all her designs Valérie Messika aims to create a sense of volume,
movement, and sensual fluidity. Very important to her is the ergonomic
comfort: “A jewel has to stay in place. Our cuff is made to fit everyone
perfectly. Women should forget they’re wearing expensive jewels; they
must be able to move naturally, walk, dance, run, work.”
LIBERTY
Each piece is developed around the idea of comfort, to allow freedom
of movement. Messika creates singular pieces that ring the changes
with a suppleness that liberates vitality and energy.
PURITY OF THE DIAMOND
From the unconditional purity of the diamond,
to the clean designs that enhance it, Messika
is always in search of the essential.
SENSUALITY
Technical innovation aims to break down the barriers between the
diamond and the body, for sensory contact with each piece. Messika
pays tribute to feminine grace, through fluidity of form and curve of
movement.
