Make Your Move

Treasures

Just as she does every year, Valerie Messika has added new touches to her iconic Move collection to ensure that it remains fresh. Having worked a great deal with gold and diamonds, she is now set out to get to know a whole new material: leather. While it is already a familiar sight in haute couture workshops, it is now also starting to pop up on jewelry makers’ workbenches. As usual, the creator, who is hugely inspired by the world of fashion, has managed to produce a colourful and incredibly desirable bracelet.

These fun pieces can be customized to your individual preferences and can be worn on their own or with other ‘My Move’ bracelets, giving you an endless range of combinations. Whether you’re after leather links, a matte or varnished finish, a pavé design, 100% gold or titanium, ‘My Move’ provides a blank canvas where anything is possible. There are more than 300 bracelet combinations available, giving you a wide range of potential looks. The leather juxtaposes with the sparkle from the white diamond, the shimmer of the white, pink or yellow gold and the strength of the natural titanium, graphite or anthracite.

For her, for him or for us. With this range, the jewelry maker has stepped up further and mastered the challenge of jewelry that can be shared across the sexes, which can be swapped, stacked and shared. Similar to borrowing your boyfriend’s oversized jumper, you can also nab his My Move bracelet. This piece of jewelry is fun to wear and pairs perfectly with a variety of outfits. Build up your collection and show them off day and night. A full spectrum of colours and an endless range of styles. ‘Orange Pepsy’ is one of them.

Available with or without the pavé setting, the cherry red and tangerine orange ‘My Move’ bracelets are an accessory bursting with zesty energy. The leather bracelets can be switched in and out along with the Move motif, making this a perfectly playful, customizable, and versatile piece of jewelry. Style play is child’s play with ‘My Move’.

Since its origins, Maison Messika has succeeded in combining the timelessness of the diamond with a modern touch. Diamond jewelry in a contemporary style to be worn every day. Messika Atelier is unique, a space bathed in soft natural light. Jewelers, setters, polishers and virtuoso artisans apply their talent and experience to create exceptional pieces. In this reserved era of the made-to-measure, jewelry is brought to life for the first time. A secret fascinating world where technique gradually fades into the background to provide space for beauty.

From its very first collections, the jewels that took shape in Valerie’s imagination and in the skilled hands of her artisans, goldsmiths, stone cutters and setters were exciting and exuberant, revolutionary yet underpinned with a deep reverence for her legacy, and driven by her personal passion for the king of gems. Much of Valerie’s inspiration comes from art, playing with a Calder sculpture in her father’s office, absorbing from his collection various details of line, movement, colour, composition, which have shaped her overall sense of form and proportion. Inspiration clearly also comes from street style, imbuing Messika Jewelry with a dynamic urban beat. She draws inspiration too from fashion, haute couture, and from the great classical themes of jewellery history, which are contemporised and rejuvenated through her vision.
