Terres d'Instinct, Messika's new high jewellery collection, celebrates the Maison's 20th anniversary with rare intensity.

Sixteen ornaments, like so many cries of gold and stones, embody this mineral odyssey. A wild, sensory, visceral journey.

There are landscapes that cannot be observed,
lights that cannot be looked at,
and collections that cannot be described: they can be felt.

Valérie Messika does not call on the archives or the retrospective.
This time, she is going far away: to Namibia.
Where the sand wrinkles like a drape of gold, where the dunes undulate to abstraction, where the scratches of the fauna become lines and beautiful tensions.
Nature, here, does not serve as inspiration:
it becomes matter, memory and movement.
