Midnight Sun Opus II

THE EVANESCENCE OF THE NIGHT MEETS THE FIRST LIGHT OF DAWN

Maison Messika unveils the Second Opus of its new Midnight Sun High Jewelry collection. Still inspired by the theme of a festive night out, the Artistic Director focused this year on the time which follows the final moments of the night.

This twilight zone where the immaculate whiteness of dawn meets the last light of the stars. Playing with contrasts, exploring chiaroscuro, she imagines sets in two versions of gold which oppose and respond to each other.


DIAMOND BY NIGHT, DIAMOND BY DAY

This Second Opus is a superb work around light and contrasts which reveals pieces as enigmatic as they are bright. Maison Messika’s unique innovation this year takes the form of real sparkling diamond bubbles in an exceptional snow setting. The magic of the play of light composes unique sets, masterfully embodied by the famous model Natalia Vodianova and the young English actor, Lucien Laviscount during a vibrant shoot.

Mixed genres, duality of light, play of opposition, the Maison places its High Jewelry creations more than ever at the forefront of style.

WHITE MIDNHIGHT SUN

A NEO EIGHTIES SENSUALITY

Hypnotic and intriguing, White Midnight Sun is a virtuoso curve of shimmering light where diamonds seem to crystallise gold. With this creation, Valérie Messika propels the Maison to the forefront of modern High Jewelry. Vibrating infinitely, the luminous power of this carpet of diamonds invites you to the intoxicating frenzy of a star-filled evening. A night where anything is possible. Impertinence of volumes, sparkle of diamonds, Valérie Messika imagines a High Jewelry Neo Eighties set with a subtle touch of rock.

The centerpiece of this incredible set, the necklace is adorned with more than 2,400 stones meticulously orchestrated in a snow setting. Taking pride of place in the centre is a magnificent 3.55-carat pear-shaped diamond nestled in a yellow gold bezel; subtle solar nuance at the heart of the immaculate whiteness of the gems. White Midnight Sun reveals a perfect mastery of the work of light and volumes. Avant-garde, Valérie Messika completes this sumptuous set with a sculptural Ear Cuff.

This semi-rigid collar with exceptional volume presents remarkable link work. All the elements of this magnificently rounded curve come together in a perfect trompe l’oeil, enhanced by the snow setting. A daring feat, this exceptional setting required nearly 300 hours of work in the Maison’s workshops.


GROOVE

RETRO-CHIC EXTRAVAGANCE

For the Second Midnight Sun Opus, Valérie Messika extends the exploration of this XXL design and enriches it with a masterful choker and a long, genderless-relaxed necklace.

Each piece captures the eye and exudes undeniable power. The Artistic Director creates a retro-chic XXL link where these gold and diamond rings swing day and night. A boldness that goes even further, and is both a masculine and feminine statement. A singular brilliance that takes this set to a new dimension.

The epitome of excess, Groove plays between alternations and contrasts: curves and straight lines, brilliant and baguette-cut diamonds, polished gold and pavé. Ultra graphic, this set reveals a beautiful setting gesture with its perfectly controlled micro-paving on oversized curved lines.


LUNAR DIVA

ANGEL OF THE NIGHT OR STAR OF THE DAY

The Artistic Director here reinterprets the exceptional Solar Diva, masterpiece of the First Opus in a new all-white gold version. A play of contrasts and light guides the Artistic Director in her aesthetic research. Lunar Diva explores new inspirations. An ode to the night and to complementarities, the relationships are reversed. The necklace, imagined as a real yellow gold collar in 2023, is transformed into a fascinating constellation of snow-set diamonds.

Lunar Diva is a night of stars and celebrations, at the centre of which proudly sits the Moon, embodied by this fascinating emerald-cut puzzle diamond. On each side of the collar, two lines of gold come together and intertwine in the centre to support the stone in all its glory. A sculptural signet ring completes this High Jewelry set, which is also enhanced by a remarkable emerald-cut puzzle diamond.

REVELATION OF MESSIKA KNOW-HOW

Masterpiece of the set, the necklace alone has more than 700 diamonds for the snow setting of the collar. A feat of High Jewelry, the setting of this piece required almost 400 hours of work. Each diamond had to be open-worked by hand on the back with precision to maximise the passage of light through the stones. Exceptional know-how also revealed by the remarkable assembly and cutting of the puzzle diamonds displayed on the necklace and the signet ring.


SO MOVE MAX

UNLIMITED PARTY

A bold trend taken to the extreme in this inspiring exercise in High Jewelry. Valérie Messika achieves the feat of twisting her signature codes into a High Jewelry figure of speech. Ultra-graphic, the Move transforms into a unique jewelry sculpture. Moving stone, signature surround and the power of the motif create ultra-graphic, subtly uninhibited pieces.

A set that is both classical and elegant where the Move is an integral part of the design. Choker, bracelet and threefinger ring think big with So Move Max, for the ultimate fashion statement.

REVELATION OF MESSIKA KNOW-HOW

So Move Max combines allure and exceptional know-how in spectacular creations. The alternation of pavé and baguette-cut diamonds on the interlinks reinforces the power of the design. An inspired gesture which brings the graphics of this set into the High Jewelry aura.


HYPNOTIC SCALE

THE RIVER, A CASE OF LIGHT

Hypnotic Scale reinvents the diamond river in an ultrapowerful set. The play on the volume of the surrounds, magnificently rounded, creates an unexpected relief. Captivating and bewitching at the same time, the subtly inclined stones radiate light. Faceted cut, the pear shape maximises the brilliance of the gems while the setting of the halos multiplies their fire. A feat of High Jewelry, each surround is made according to the dimensions of the central diamond it accompanies.

REVELATION OF MESSIKA KNOW-HOW

Hypnotic Scale is an extremely harmonious set thanks to the perfect unity of quality and light of these stones ranging from 0.10 to 2.70 carats. An incomparable pairing know-how that is particularly reflected in the necklace and river bracelet. The repetition and perfect gradation of the stones create a harmonious falling effect that instantly catches the eye.
