Heiress to a family tradition, Valérie Messika was predestined to work with diamonds. During her childhood, she used to listen to the fascinating stories told by her father André, a key player in the diamond trade. Now her passion for diamonds is at the very centre of all her creations. Instinctively, each diamond inspires a sketch, drawn from the forms she imagines when seeing the stone. This 18 karat rose gold and diamond Eden cuff is just one stunning example.
