One day in 2005, wearing diamonds suddenly became rock and roll. Fresh air begins to blow, with a touch of impudence, in the world of jewelry. Valerie Messica is inventing a new way of thinking about diamonds and especially wearing them. Breaking the rules of jewelry, she lightens the parameters, plays with shapes, sizes, parameters and sets out to make the dream of all women come true: to defile the diamond, to restore it to lightness, bold sensuality.
Free and Rebel Diamonds
Valerie Messika is a sunny and generous woman. Her diamonds accompany every hour of the day and wait neither for the bottom of the mercury nor for special occasions. On Move’s iconic creations, diamonds slide their sunrays into a golden rectangle, elsewhere they are set on dazzling gem lines. On the Toi & Moi from the My Twin collection, pear segments and emerald cutouts contrast each other with a slightly skewed asymmetry. The settings are discreet, allowing the stones to intensely capture and refract light. This playful spirit is found in Joy Cœur rings.

Heart-cut diamonds on the corner, symbols of love, seem to dance around the finger. An infinitely sensual pear cut marks the Fiery creations, sharp, sleek, where the stone seems to fly into the heart of a drop of gold with cut sides.
Valerie Messika’s sunny and rebellious side inspires each of her creations.
Workshop in the heart of Paris
The daughter of a diamond merchant, the designer never compromises on quality. After five years of traveling with his father, immersing himself in the world of diamond trading, he founded his brand, fulfilling his promise. Mastering both the sources and the know-how, its exquisite jewelry workshop in the heart of Paris is composed of a veritable chain of talents, with around twenty jewelers, attentive guardians, which makes the reputation of the house; the lightness and flexibility of jewelry. , the sizes of the diamonds and of course the new setting technique, sometimes very complex, imagined by Valerie Messica.

The concept of the Move, where three diamonds slide fluidly within their gold rectangle, or the Skinny, a super-flexible diamond rail thanks to a double fastening system (each stone is entwined with a flexible gold wire), required months of research. Freeing the diamond from its traditional matrix, they have become the symbol of the house. Another example of the Mesika workshops’ expertise is the cutting of an extraordinary rough diamond of 110 carats of absolute clarity for the Akh-Ba-Ka collection. It took six months and over a thousand hours of work to complete. The necklace alone has 2550 diamonds.
Towards greater transparency and accountability
The house takes it a step further with Move Link Solitaire by emphasizing its ethical approach. Each Solitaire is accompanied by a certificate from the Sarine Tech laboratory, guaranteeing the diamond’s perfect traceability. At the forefront of technology, Sarine Tech is a partner of top diamond dealers and works closely with GIA (Gemological Institute of America), a global reference.
With her feminine and innovative inspirations that are already part of timeless elegance, Valerie Messica took on the challenge of making diamonds bold, sensual and always precious.
