KNOW-HOW AND VIRTUOSITY

The Messika workshop

A few blocks from the rue Saint-Honoré boutique, in the epicenter of Parisian glitz, Valérie Messika has set up shop in a confidential, modern and romantic setting. It is here that she gives birth to contemporary and audacious creations. It is also in her workshops that the designer takes up the challenge she has always set herself: to combine jewelry tradition and modernity. To do this, the designer surrounds herself with the best goldsmiths in France and abroad. Lapidaries, polishers, setters, strive to develop treasures of creativity to give life to majestic jewelry.

The drawing

From the very beginning, Valérie Messika has been determined to make the most of her family heritage. As with haute couture, her team creates exceptional pieces in her workshops that take weeks, even months, to come to life. These creations are the subject of hundreds of sketches to validate the jewelry that will adorn a woman's curves. The precise and meticulous hand of a draftsman will then produce a gouache drawing in order to have a concrete idea of the piece in question.

Mounting, assembly and welding

Once the design is completed, the jeweler builds the elements that will form the final structure of the jewel. Then the creator meticulously assembles the different pieces one by one. A Messika jewel requires no less than 200 hours of work. The jeweler then freezes the pieces with a blowtorch. This meticulous work leaves no room for improvisation. Once soldered, each element will host a carefully cut diamond.

Polishing and crimping

The polishing of the jewel intervenes at different stages of the manufacturing process. Several polishings are made before and after the setting. It will allow to obtain a mirror effect and will also allow the diamond to reveal all its splendor. Then comes the final step, the setting. The setter sculpts the material, cuts and sets the stones with extreme precision to give Messika high jewelry its unique character. It is also this operation that will sublimate the diamonds and magnify the jewel.
