While diamond necklaces and rings have filled jewellery boxes for hundreds of years, Messika has been proving that respecting traditions can go hand in hand with thinking outside the box, opting to trade static settings for modern fluidity and movement since it was established in 2005. Founder Valérie Messika builds on her family’s heritage in the diamond trade by making the precious stone the star of every piece. From loose stones travelling around Messika bracelets and bangles to earrings that minimise metal to effortlessly enhance the natural sparkle of diamonds, each piece of jewellery is made in the brand’s Parisian atelier and remains resolutely free from inhibitions and constraints.
