Pharaohs, pyramids, sphinx: ancient Egypt is a myth. And diamonds are also a myth, companions desired by women. A myth among myths, Valérie Messika has decided to combine the Egyptian atmosphere with high-end diamond-based jewelry, which is the specialty of the Parisian Maison. The result is called Beyond the Light. It is a collection of high jewelry that the French designer defines retro-futuristic, an effective oxymoron to describe a collection that has its apex in Akh-Ba-Ka an incredible set with a design intrinsically inspired by the mythology and style of ancient Egypt. and its sacred scarabs, made of diamonds and white gold.

Attention, this is an exceptional set, which includes 15 diamonds cut from the same gem, a rough diamond of 110 carats discovered in the Lucara mine, in Botswana. All 15 diamonds obtained from that single stone are gathered in the same set: a rather extraordinary fact. Among all, there is a diamond with the highest purity, color D, and with a weight of 33 carats. Messika’s set also includes earrings and ring.

Ancient Egypt was a civilization that continues to fascinate all generations and cultures. It gives off a mystery, an almost magical aura that evokes eternity. It is also a world that infuses a powerful and inspiring spirituality.

An explanation has also been added to the name of the main set of the collection. In ancient Egyptian mythology, Ka symbolizes life energy and Ba represents transformation to the afterlife. From the union of these forces comes Akh, the transfiguration of a person towards the light. The word Akh-Ba-Ka therefore indicates transcendence. But it also means a great work of high jewelery. The necklace uses 2,550 diamonds, for a total of 71.49 carats. At the center of the necklace, the 33-carat cushion-cut diamond is inserted by a play of pendants. the wings of the beetle embrace the entire front part of the jewel and the other diamonds, some of which with fancy cuts.

The art of matching jewels. Valérie Messika, who launched the Parisian high jewelery Maison that bears her name, makes a proposal: to wear jewels from different collections together. A way to surprise and go against the tide. Necklaces, bracelets, rings and earrings are usually worn as sets, Messika points out, but today the overlapping of different rings or bracelets and asymmetry are in fashion.

In line with the trend called néoporté, the French designer has developed several combinations that complement each other perfectly. The famous mix & match is found in all the looks created by Messika. For example, wearing a series of chain bracelets or bangles, earrings and ear clips, rings worn on several knuckles or fingers, chokers, chain necklaces and pendants all worn at the same time … In short, the perfect outfit for winter 2021 is reached with the ability to combine different things, and the same at the same time, in search of a new balance.

Only successful marriages, even those that are simply artistic, stand the test of time. And it seems that the collaboration between Valérie Messika and Kate Moss is part of this small group. After the launch of the luxurious collection featuring the face and contribution of the iconic British model, the Parisian Maison founded by the queen of diamonds has reached its second chapter. Opus 2 adds new pieces to the lines presented with the first collaboration. Starting from a wide palette of colors, the model and the designer have devised a second version of jewelry consisting of 36 exclusive pieces.

The jewelry uses malachite, white mother of pearl, turquoise, onyx and, of course, diamonds. Gold is accompanied by bold, drop-shaped designs, and reflect the style defined as néo-porté. The collection includes pieces that can also be worn in an unconventional way: not only around the neck, ears, wrists, fingers, but also on the forehead, hands and body. But always keeping the necessary ergonomics. Kate Moss, Messika notes, believes that a piece of jewelry should only be synchronized with the person wearing it. And the founder of the Maison starts from the idea that jewels can be worn by women every day.

The new jewels are divided into the different lines presented on the occasion of the first launch of the collection signed with Kate Moss, such as Unchained Soul, Color Play, Liberated Spirit, Bohemian Chic, Released Sun, Spirited Wind, Twisted Wave.

The queen of diamonds together with the queen of models. That is Valérie Messika and Kate Moss. Together they made the revolution. Because the Messika brand, hitherto associated with high jewelery based on white gold and luxurious diamonds, is now transformed into something more complex. The high jewelry signed by the eternal Kate Moss changes the rules of the game and introduces not only new shapes, but also the freedom of color in the Parisian Maison. Kate suggested transgressions, Valérie translated wishes into drawings. The result is a wide range of jewels with innovative shapes, often oversized. The choices of the designer and the model have led to a breath of fresh air. The collaboration then was shooted on the lens of a famous Australian photographer, Chris Colls.

In any case, we cannot speak of a single collection, because Kate Moss’s signature on Messika’s jewels embraces completely different styles and sets. For example, Liberated Spirit is a rose gold and diamond set inspired by art deco and contemporary clothing, which includes tassel necklaces and ankle bracelets. Color Play, on the other hand, introduces new materials for the Maison, such as malachite, mother of pearl and turquoise on sumptuous plastron, XXL earrings, three-finger ring.

The Exotic Charm line, on the other hand, returns to the classic combination of white gold and diamonds with a design that recalls intricate arabesques, also in this case with intense necklaces and maxi earrings. Still: Spirited Wind collects jewels inspired by the shape of a feather created with diamonds, drawn with delicate and subtle lines. A compelling, asymmetrical movement makes brilliant and emerald cuts flutter. The set includes a three-finger ring.

Equally exceptional are the other lines resulting from the collaboration between Valérie Messika and Kate Moss: Released Sun, Twisted Wave, Bohemian Chic, Unchained Soul. In all there is an emerald-cut diamond, associated with yellow, white or pink gold. And in all of them shines the unique design of Messika, combined with the charming presence of Kate Moss.

Here, then, are some first-class jewels that have aroused envy, admiration and regret (for those who could not wear them).

As if that weren’t enough, he showed off his iconic Roman and Glam’Azone double rings and a My Twin ring.

Valérie Messika has also recommended to Selena Gomez the Snake Dance earrings of the new collection Born to be Wild and the Toi & Moi ring, also of high jewelery. Subsequently, the actress then presented herself with a Bulgari series.

In addition, Tina Kunakey also wore Messika jewels, with Wild Moon earrings, Snake Dance bracelet and the Toi & Moi ring from Private Collection, Brazilian actress Isis Valverde with the eared stuff Beloved Feather from Once Upon a Time collection a Time and the Snake Dance ring.

The American actress Eva Longoria presented herself on the red carpet, instead, wearing de Grisogono jewels. In particular with the Boule earrings in yellow and white gold coated with white diamonds (1.30 ct) and brown (28.50 ct). Always for the Geneva House, the German model and actress Barbara Meier showed a pair of Vortice earrings in rose gold with white diamonds (11.60 carats) and the Chiocciolina ring in pink gold with white diamonds (2.35 carats) .

With showy Chopard earrings, the Maison that is traditionally paired with Cannes, presented Julianne Moore at the screening of the film Les Miserables. He has changed two: first made only in diamonds and then with diamonds and large emeralds. Same choice (Chopard earrings) for Elle Fanning, which is part of the jury. Alessia Ambrosio opted instead for large spiral earrings in white gold and diamonds by Boucheron. Iranian actress and songwriter Golshifteh Farahani instead shined with a diamond necklace and Cartier opals.
