architecture-design · 2026-04-21

Messika has unveiled its 'Moderniste' jewellery line, transitioning from two decades of 'diamonds in motion' to a focus on gold as a sculptural element in yellow, white, and rose hues. This new collection emphasizes volume, structure, and the play of light. To commemorate the launch, Wallpaper* organized an event in London with views of Kensington Gardens, where Valérie Messika conversed with editor Hannah Silver about the collection. The campaign, led by creative director Sybille de Saint Louvent, combines AI and material innovation, showcasing photography by Ezra Petronio and featuring actress Julianne Moore. Drawing inspiration from modernist architecture, the collection offers rings, earrings, necklaces, and a bangle, with prices ranging from £1,680 to £42,300, fostering a dialogue between masculine and feminine energies.
