Messika, fairy-tale jewelry

///

High jewelry by Messika: traditional fairy tales are transformed into incredible pieces. Indeed, fabulous ♦ ︎

Being raised with a menu of bread and diamonds is certainly a diet that only a few can say they have followed. But, probably, it is the perfect diet for a jeweler, judging by the result obtained by Valérie Messika. Diamonds were her childhood playmates and, now, they are her working tools. Better, they are tools for the composition of jewelry that are comparable to works of art.
During the Paris Haute Couture Week, Messika presented other high-end jewelery pieces from the Once Upon a Time collection. “Combining my passion for diamonds with my love for fashion, I rewrote some of the stories that once enchanted me when I was a child,” explained the queen of diamonds. “I reinterpreted the stories of these old tales with an ultramodern vision and avant-garde style inspired by the latest fashion trends”.

The Little Mermaid
This is the case, for example, of the Little Mermaid, a large necklace with a large emerald-cut diamond in the center. Also the other diamonds, arranged on about fifty fringes, have the same cut. The fringes move and dance just like the waves among which the Little Mermaid lives.
Another exceptional chapter in the series is the Undine Set. It takes the name of a story from the Romantic period, written in 1811 by Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué. The story tells the tragic story of an Undine, aquatic female spirit of Nordic folklore. Messika interprets it as a tribute to the world of high fashion, inspired by the most exclusive trends in the world of catwalks. The set consists of a necklace with emerald and brilliant-cut diamonds, a pair of earrings, a bracelet and a ring. The set inspired by the Snow Queen, however, prefers the pear-cut, to pay tribute to the heroine of the fairy tale, who uses his courage to free himself from the hypnotic winter queen.
Another chapter: The Bright Falcon, which refers to an ancient Russian fairy tale. The necklace of this series is nothing short of spectacular. By eye, more than 300 marquise cut diamonds will be used with an overall design that alludes to the wings of a falcon. For this necklace Messika has used various colors and cuts of diamonds (in the middle there is an emerald cut) and a technique specifically studied in the Maison’s laboratory that allows flexibility and ergonomics.
The collection also includes special pieces such as a ring with marquise cut diamonds, or the Radiant ring, with an amazing fancy yellow diamond of over 7 carats. It is appropriate to say that they are a fairy tale jewelry. Giulia Netrese
