Between Desert Steppes and Star-Studded Skies, the Power of Stones
Messika continues the exploration of Southern African landscapes and star-studded desert skies in new high jewelry sets.
The surprising Groove , with its Art Deco lines, summons the rosy hues of rhodolite garnets swept away by the warmth of the African twilight . These colored beads are paired with diamonds in a choker and/or a long necklace ( sautoir ), ending in a cascading tassel. The second creation, Magnétique , is a necklace that lives up to its name perfectly. It embodies the force of attraction through a succession of diamonds forming fully paved luminous rings, like those traced on the surface of the desert sand. /public-objects/5c4494ab-cfa3-4323-a6c9-ca9ad1d50c83-3942a836-0372-4db2-ba89-87f9eb4058ab-Messika%20-%20Gouache%20Collier%20Magn%C3%83%C2%A9tiquex1920.webp Image sélectionnée With Divine Enigma , Messika pushes the boundaries even further, diminishing the role of gold in favor of the stone and its light: the diamonds, set in snow, seem to float on the skin around an impressive oval diamond of nearly 19 carats. A set that shines intensely, reminiscent of the starry sky of the Namibian desert. Finally, Velvet Rope marks a new stylistic approach with the introduction of tiger's eye, used for the first time by the maison – a stone whose tawny and shimmering reflections bring a certain sensuality to flexible and sinuous jewelry cords, also punctuated with diamonds, that energetically embrace the neck. Valérie Messika further asserts her instinctive vision of high jewelry where the diamond is a living and spectacular material that associates – or not – with stones to transport us to other lands. /public-objects/7307e30f-ac75-4739-a007-79ab00903944-afc326b0-3c7e-4356-98a5-ba36bfce61ff-Messika%20-%20Gouache%20collier%20Divine%20Enigma%2018.88ctsx1920.webp Image sélectionnée
