Driven by a desire to create diamond fashion jewelry of unwavering beauty, Valérie Messika created her own jewelry House in 2005. In her work, she reinvents the richly symbolic and meaningful stone into a desirable and disruptive object that lends self-confidence to anyone who wears it. Valérie constantly innovates to realize this vision, creating new designs and new techniques. She conceives jewelry that is as individual as it is explosive. She is a jewelry designer, of course, but above all, she is a trend-setter. Valérie Messika brings a liberating breath of fresh air to the jewelry industry. In her hands, the diamond comes alive: it moves, it dances, it has fun and most importantly, it is never boring. Messika pieces are jewelry with character, reflecting the designer’s own femininity and modernity. Messika creations are admired by the most influential women in the world, women respected for their talent and personality. Between 2017 and 2018, the House collaborated with Gigi Hadid, the highly regarded global supermodel, with whom the House co-designed two capsule collections. For 2019, Valérie Messika goes further with, not 1 but 3 muses : Kate Moss, Joan Smalls and Sylvia Hoeks. For 2020 and 2021, Valérie Messika and her muse, Kate Moss, co-created a High Jewelry collection composed of 2 opus. A collection honoured through a unique High Jewelry show in the gardens of the Ritz Paris. In 2022, the Maison chose the emblematic model Kendall Jenner to become the face of its latest campaign. This year promises to see Valérie Messika, the rulebreaker of the jewelry industry, push the boundaries even further. New collaborations, new designs, new and innovative design shapes and more.
