MESSIKA CELEBRATES 20 YEARS OF CREATION AND UNVEILS 'TERRES D'INSTINCT'
ROOTED IN NAMIBIA, EXALTED BY THE RADIANCE OF COLORED GEMS, THE NEW HIGH JEWELRY COLLECTION PAYS TRIBUTE TO THE LANDSCAPES, WILDLIFE, AND VIBRANT LIGHTS OF SOUTHERN AFRICA.
VALÉRIE MESSIKA DREW HER INSPIRATION DURING A JOURNEY TO NAMIBIA, IN THE HEART OF BOUNDLESS EXPANSES.
A VISION CARVED FROM THE BEAUTY OF SOUTHERN AFRICA
From the mineral shimmer of the Kalahari to the fiery dunes of the Namib, from the feline grace of the cheetah to the majesty of the lion, each creation pushes the boundaries of emotion and expression.
Bold shapes, layered volumes, graphic contrasts, and chiseled light define this 20th anniversary collection where gold and diamond engage with unprecedented textures and finishes.
With sixteen original sets, the first chapter of Terres d'Instinct opens as a manifesto of liberated style.
'The creative language of this collection speaks to the earth itself, the cradle of the diamond and the very essence of our Maison. In Namibia, I was struck by monumental landscapes, vibrant ochres, unrelenting light, and the majesty of sovereign wildlife. In the face of such untamed beauty, only the present moment matters.' – Valérie Messika.
COLOR AS A NEW TERRAIN
With Terres d'Instinct, Valérie Messika ventures for the first time into the realm of colored gemstones. This collection heralds a bold new chapter for the Parisian Maison, long celebrated for its diamond expertise. On the occasion of its 20th anniversary, Messika expands its High Jewelry lexicon to include both precious and fine gems: sapphires, rubies, emeralds, spinels, garnets, onyx, and more.
DIAMONDS, EVER THE GUIDING LIGHT
Throughout the collection, diamond light weaves the story. Enhanced by diverse setting techniques – bezel, snow, halo, and cuts ranging from cushion and baguette to heart.
Terres d'Instinct reflects the creative audacity and spirit of innovation that define the Maison. This contemporary vision of High Jewelry gives rise to a liberated artistry, one that breaks from convention and strides boldly toward new horizons.
