Messika explores the fascinating and mysterious lure of ancient Egypt for it´s latest high jewelry collection: “Beyond the Light”, an incandescent shower of gold and diamonds, a promise of eternal radiance. A unique and mystical journey and magical odyssey where passion, audacity and excellence compose an entrancing and majestic collection of unparalleled artistry.
Artistic Director Valerie Messika perfectly blends her inspirations and know-how. Through a purity of form and graphic lines, an imperial look and exceptional stones, she conducts a retro-futuristic symphony subtly tinged with Egypt and its hypnotic mythology. Unique and innovative sets where diamonds are transformed from piece-to-piece result in a vibrant and mystic collection of jewels.
The masterpiece of the collection, “Akh-Ba-Ka”, that sublimates the mythical theme of the Egyptian winged scarab, is conceived in diamonds and white gold with 15 exceptional gems cut from the same rough diamond of 110 carats. It radiates a light of near illusive purity that emanates from the incomparable 33-carat diamond.
“Ancient Egypt was a civilisation that continues to fascinate all generations and cultures. It emanates a mystery, an almost magical aura that evokes eternity. It is also a world that instills a powerful and inspiring spirituality”, explains Valérie Messika.
The “Beyond the Light” high jewelry collection continues to bedazzle with more magnificent pieces:
“Golden Shield” is a journey towards the light – a solar and divine light – that radiates with grace from the power of gold. Composed of a contemporary choker, earrings with graphic geometric lines and lip jewelry, this daring set marks a return to yellow gold that is modern and inspired. The impressive necklace evoking the pharaonic finery was hand-made from a yellow gold plate.
“Divine Enigma” is a hypnotic and mysterious set that plays on appearances. The set is available in two shades: the incandescence of yellow gold for a flamboyant look and the extreme brilliance of diamonds for a captivating wear in white gold.
The “Move Iconica” represents jewelry as an expression. Like a natural echo of the famous Egyptian cartouches, the “Move Uno” pattern is endlessly available in a subtle combination of shapes. Valérie Messika twists her iconic pattern once again and imagines ever more innovative ways of wearing it.
Valérie Messika’s inspiration for amulet jewelry is highlighted here as a fashionable and contemporary reinterpretation of the Udjat, the eye of Horus. A protective symbol associated with the God Falcon in ancient Egyptian mythology, it is also an image of light and evokes the victory of good over evil. Oudjat is a protective set, enhanced by a 7-carat diamond, a talisman that is all-the-more magical.
