Valerie Messika

Valérie Messika discovered diamonds at a young age thanks to her father André, a renowned diamond dealer. Very early on, he introduced her to his unique expertise, sparking Valérie’s passion for the exceptional stone. The relationship that Valérie had with diamonds during her childhood is an inspiration in her designs today. At the start of the 2000s, jewelry remained very traditional with diamonds often confined to engagement rings.

She had the innovative idea of creating modern luxury jewelry, that is easy to wear every day, free from the classic symbol of eternal love. “I wanted to talk about diamonds in a totally different way. I found this universe magnificent, but I wanted to lighten it, to make it a little younger and more contemporary”,  she explains. 2005 brought her intuition to fruition and marked the beginning of Messika.
