Inside Messika
Messika: A Father's Passion for Diamonds Passed Down to His Daughter
In 1972, André Messika founded Messika Diamond, establishing a prominent presence in the international diamond trade. In 2005, inspired by her father's entrepreneurial spirit, Valérie Messika launched her eponymous brand, transforming diamonds into exquisite jewelry that captivates and sparkles.
Valérie Messika
Valérie Messika seemed destined to work with diamonds. From a young age, she listened to her father, André Messika, a key figure in the diamond trade for over 40 years, share captivating stories of his travels in search of exceptional gems. Valérie inherited this passion, choosing to dedicate herself to diamonds while forging her own path. Instinctively, each diamond sparked a design or concept in her mind—a thrill ignited by envisioning the ideal setting for the stone. Shapes, patterns, and techniques take centre stage in her creations, but only as a means to highlight the diamond's unique character, quality, size, and brilliance.
A Diamond Legacy Rooted in Family Heritage
"Messika is a story of passion and savoir-faire, a deeply rooted family and business venture!"
