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
Founded in Paris in 2005, Messika challenges the conventions of diamond jewelry with a bold and contemporary vision. With diamond expertise in her family heritage, Valérie Messika established a House with a strong identity and an original idea: transforming diamonds into jewelry that embodies freedom—modern, effortless, and wearable every day, like a luxury fashion accessory.
An independent Parisian house, Messika has experienced remarkable growth: in 2013, it opened its first boutique on Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré and debuted its first High Jewelry collection. This was followed by the creation of its Parisian High Jewelry workshop in 2015 and the brand’s global expansion. Today, Messika is present in 90 countries with nearly 600 points of sale worldwide.
Every year, the House unveils its High Jewelry collections at their iconic catwalk show during Paris Fall Fashion Week. Infusing diamonds with the energy of the present, Messika embodies a vision of jewelry and High Jewelry that is free, contemporary, and uncompromisingly radical—without ever sacrificing excellence.
A Diamond Legacy Rooted in Family Heritage
