Messika Move Ciselé: The Iconic Models, Reimagined

To celebrate its 20th anniversary, Messika explores a new innovative approach towards designmaterials, introducing Move Ciselé. A refined chiseled gold technique, which gives gold a vibrant texture and shine. The Maison revisits the iconic Move Noa and Move Classique pieces, reimagining them with a new textured finish.

A unique finish, a distinctive signature

Under the artistic direction of Valérie Messika, in-depth research has been conducted to achieve this new finish. Satin, brushed and sandblasted textures already exist, but the designer wanted to explore a new a rtisanal effect. Chiseled gold stands out due to its meticulous execution, where each notch is designed to add depth and a unique touch to each piece. Neither too smooth nor too uniform, this technique captures light and enhances the material. 'Move Ciselé is a new space for expression in our expertise and creativity. Sculpted like a diamond, chiseled gold captures and reflects light, revealing a new dimension to our jewelry signature', explains Valérie Messika.

A new art of relief

This meticulous work redefines the Maison’s codes and introduces a sculptural dynamic into the classics. Entirely handmade, chiseled gold is the result of impeccable craftsmanship. The jeweler first prepares the surface of the metal by polishing it with a diamond powder-coated bur. Then, using a fine chisel, they carve the material by controlling pressure, curvature, and angle. Each groove created perfectly captures the light. Layered in a manner similar to that of woven mesh, the notches form a pattern of raised and recessed shapes, giving each piece its own unique handcrafted identity.

Haute Couture gold

Like many of Messika’s designs, these new creations play on contrasts. Inspired by the world of Fashion and Haute Couture, dear to Valérie Messika, this textured effect evokes a silk velvet, a surface that subtly captures and reflects light. Move Noa and Move Classique designs are reinvented in this new texture, where sculpted gold brings contemporary sophistication to the Maison’s iconic designs. A gold with character that opens a new chapter for Messika.

The diamond jewelry from the latest Move Ciselé collection is available at the Mamić 1970 boutique in the center of Zagreb, at 7 Frane Petrića Street.
