The Messika
Maison
As told by its founder
It all started with an instinct. A belief. When I created the Messika Maison in 2005, I was 22 years old. I realised that representations of femininity were changing and multiplying. I wanted to offer diamond jewelry that reflected the spirit of the free, confident women I saw appearing. I wanted to offer luxury jewelry to give them more confidence and the strength to take their ambitions even further.

Family
A free, family-run Maison
Messika is one of the few independent jewelry Maisons founded by a woman and whose collections are still created by its designer, and I’m proud of that. We’ve been diamond experts since the 1970s, thanks to my father, but our youthfulness and independence have enabled us to retain a freedom that, as Artistic Director, is extremely precious to me. Each piece of diamond jewelrycarries my inspiration, a message, a piece of my story. There are no random creations at Messika.

A bold Maison
Messika is always daring when it comes to entering the exclusive and traditional world of jewelry. Every season, I try, like a fashion designer, to offer new ways of wearing diamonds that are more original and uninhibited. To create strong creative concepts, like Move and its moving diamonds. Original ways of wearing, with anklets,belly chains or even diamond piercings. We've made some bold moves, such as teaming up with celebrities like Beyoncé and Rihanna. As well as devoting ourselves exclusively to one precious stone, the diamond.

Daring
A disruptive Maison
Driven by a desire for excellence and creativity, I decided to innovate without taking myself too seriously. As a woman, and being lucky enough to have grown up with a father who was a diamond merchant, I'm well aware of the stereotypes that surrounded and still surround the queen of gemstones. I want to offer creations that fit in with women’s lifestyles and the diversity of their styles and needs. Diamond jewelry that can be worn with a highly sophisticated outfit or with jeans and trainers. Luxury jewelry that makes you feel good, whatever the style, whatever the occasion.

A fashionable Jewelry Maison
My passion for fashion made me want to incorporate the idea of trends and self-affirmation into my diamond jewelry, just as you would find on a Haute Couture garment. I want diamonds to adorn women, to tell a story about their look and personality. That's how we pushed the boundaries to High Jewelry in 2015. Since then, we've been organising shows during Paris Fashion Week to showcase our most exceptional creations. We are also recognised as one of the major Maisons to have joined the official calendar of the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode.
