MESSIKA UNVEILS CHAPTER TWO OF ITS HIGH JEWELRY COLLECTION “TERRES D’INSTINCT”
For its twentieth anniversary, Messika ventures further into the wild with Chapter Two of Terres d’Instinct, its latest High Jewelry collection unfolding across 23 sets. Inspired by the vast landscapes of Namibia, this opus channels the power of nature’s extremes, scorched yet lush, silent yet resonant, fierce yet resplendent.
THE POWER OF COLOR
This twentieth anniversary marks not only a turn toward colored gemstones, but also a bold expansion of Messika’s aesthetic vocabulary. Drawn from the primal splendor of Namibia, these hues echo skies, deserts, and flora, translating the elements into rhythm and brilliance.
Blue sapphires mirror the heavens, tsavorites rise like sudden vegetation, red and pink spinels flare like the last embers of the sun, onyx and diamonds trace the zebra’s stripes, while Sannan Skarn shades the foliage of its concealment.
“Instinct guided me here. Namibia showed me that beauty is born of contrast, brilliance against color, power against softness. This chapter dares with new shades but always keeps Messika’s light at its core.”
Valérie Messika, Founder and Creative Director
