Beyond the Light

An initiatory journey into the heart of ancient Egypt

This year, Valérie Messika explores the fascinating and mysterious lure of ancient Egypt. She unveils a solar and powerful High Jewelry collection: Beyond the Light, an incandescent shower of gold and diamonds - a promise of eternal radiance. The Parisian Maison dreams up a unique and mystical journey. A magical odyssey where passion, audacity and excellence compose an entrancing and majestic collection of unparalleled artistry.

The Artistic Director perfectly blends her inspirations and know-how.

Unique and innovative sets where diamonds are transformed from piece-to-piece result in a vibrant and mystic collection of jewels.

AKH-BA-KA

The odyssey of an exceptional diamond

The Maison of Messika is writing a new chapter in its history with a remarkable 33-carat diamond, an extraordinary stone that illuminates the centrepiece of the 2022 High Jewelry collection. Valérie Messika dares to take on an unexpected challenge by creating Akh-Ba-Ka, a set with a design inherently inspired by ancient Egypt mythology and style, conceived in diamonds and white gold. The hero diamonds featured within the set are 15 exceptional gems cut from the same rough diamond of 110 carats.

In ancient Egyptian mythology, the KA symbolises vital energy and BA is representative of transformation, from flight to the afterlife. From the union of these forces springs AKH, the transfiguration of a person toward the light. Therefore Akh-Ba-Ka is transcendence, a fascinating epic of a rough diamond, as well as a story of transmission, family and unique know-how.

The rebirth of an extraordinary rough stone

The 110-carat diamond is a daring adventure that began in the Lucara mine in Botswana.

The mapping of the modular composition is then proceeded by the moment of metamorphosis of this raw 110 carat gem into 15 cut diamonds. A meticulous endeavor, the precision of the work is inspired by the very nature of the rough diamond, dictating which shapes are to be adopted. The devotion and expertise of the diamond dealer have joined forces with the audacious instinct of the designer to bring this 110-carat rough diamond back to life in an incredible and unique High Jewelry set that makes a milestone in the history of the Messika Maison.
