Messika 0.94Cttw Noir Black Diamond Bracelet 18K White Gold

Messika is a contemporary French jewelry house, founded in 2005 in Paris by Valérie Messika, daughter of diamond merchant André Messika. The brand offers timeless and fashionable works of art that sit on the skin as naturally as a tattoo. Valérie Messika’s modern perspective on diamonds is that they should be celebrated daily, not reserved for special occasions, and give confidence to the women and men who wear them. 

From a young age, Valérie was influenced by her father’s work. He would bring accessories home for her to play with and explain to her what made each piece of jewelry special and unique. He taught her how to see into the heart of a diamond, and as her dream of running her own design house grew, encouraged her to remain true to her vision and the legacy of the Messika name.

Messika jewelry is very much a family-run business, employing several family members as well as a largely female staff. The confidentially located atelier where the pieces evolve from concept to completion is a bright and modern space that evokes the powerful feminine energy Valérie Messika has infused into the work. 

Messika's founder seeks to step into the unknown, breaking from traditional ideals while honoring the roots of the industry and creating a fresh and female-forward path for new industry leaders. While it is a young luxury house, it has still captured the attention of the celebrity spotlight.

American actress Mila Kunis wore Messika designs to the 94th Academy Awards. Venus Williams, Jennifer Lopez and Beyoncé have also chosen Messika jewelry for red-carpet events. Supermodel Kate Moss partnered with Messika to create the collaborative collection High Jewelry, which is flamboyant with lines that complement the feminine body, inspired by natural elements, Art Deco and bohemian style.
