In Namibia I was captivated by the sweeping landscapes, the deep ochre colour, the relentless light and the majesty of the majestic wildlife. In the face of this untouched nature, only the here and now has any meaning.” – Valérie Messika (Founder and Artistic Director) Inspired by the beauty of Southern Africa The mineral brilliance of the Kalahari Desert, the red sand dunes of the Namib Desert, the grace of the cheetah, the nobility of the lion – each creation explores new emotions in jewellery. Valérie Messika creates jewellery inspired by Namibia, Botswana and South Africa, reinterpreting them with a contemporary perspective. Bold shapes, a play of volumes, graphic contrasts and sharp light effects. This collection, celebrating the Maison’s 20th anniversary, combines gold and diamonds with unprecedented textures and finishes. Sharp incisions, stylish stripes and organic motifs express the strength of wild landscapes and animals in a free language. The first chapter of the Terre Dunstan collection features 16 sets, each a manifesto of free style. Among them, the Kalahara set stands out for its two yellow diamonds, one of which weighs about 35 carats. The necklace in the set can be worn four ways – as a triple-line plastron, double-line, choker or pendant. 《MIRAGE》

The undulating volume is expressed with the three-dimensional effect of brushed gold and pavé, creating a beauty that emerges between dream and design.

Onyx and baguette-cut diamonds create a structural rhythm, and two Cadillac-cut diamonds are placed in the center of this architectural creation.

Brushed gold with sharp cuts like lion’s claw marks. Pavé diamonds sparkle between the deep cuts. Its power is not to be flaunted, but to be felt. It trembles inside and cuts through the surface.

This is a monumental step for a Maison known for diamonds. To mark the 20th anniversary, a range of colored gemstones have been added, including sapphires, rubies, emeralds, spinels, garnets and onyx. Colored gemstones embody the vibrant nuances of Africa. The fiery red of a Kalahari Desert sunset, the deep green of an oasis, the turquoise blue of a bird’s feather… Each stone embodies a fragment of wild nature, sometimes glamorous and sometimes mysterious. As a highlight, a 30-carat Zambian emerald appears in the Divine Enigma set. “To celebrate our 20th anniversary, I wanted to venture into color. The infinite power of gemstones to evoke images inherits the magic of diamonds and resonates with the deep emotions I felt in Africa.” – Valérie Messika Eternal Light – Diamonds Diamonds tell a story throughout the collection. The wide variety of settings (mass setting, snow setting, ecran en tour, cushion cut, baguette cut, heart cut, etc.) highlight the Maison’s unique craftsmanship and family tradition. “Terres d’Instinct” embodies the bold creativity and innovative spirit that symbolizes the Maison. This collection brings a new perspective to high jewelry and unleashes artistic freedom. Its expression is not bound by preconceived notions and is moving powerfully towards new horizons.
