Messika’s Beyond the Light necklace transforms modern haute joaillerie with over 150 carats of architectural genius and futurist glow.
In the constantly evolving world of haute joaillerie, there are few gemstones that shine as brightly as the Messika Beyond the Light Necklace. A pioneer to be admired for its boldness in daring to dream big and be fearless, Valérie Messika offers a work of art that is as much a fashion statement as it is a high-jewelry work of art.

Composed of over 150 carats of yellow and white diamonds, this sculptural choker is a feat of engineering. Its curved but geometric shape cascades like a waterfall of light around the collarbones, creating a pyramid of flashing light in reverse—dramatic but wearable. It’s the type of luxury jewel that one can imagine on the red carpet at Cannes or elegantly wound around the neck of a power collector arriving at a private jet in Monaco.

Messika’s “Beyond the Light” is more than a title, it is an aesthetic theory. This necklet is a tribute to star power—light as symbol, vehicle. Every diamond is set by hand and kept under wraps to result in unbroken ballet of reflections and depth. The result? A visual effect that makes pilfered light left in mid-brush seem to exist.

Other than its appearance, the piece of work is a work of absolute technical expertise. The setting method is hardly apparent here, with diamonds having total liberty to move, suspended suspended in mid-air. The piece is inspired by lifestyle fashions in future eras, merging cyber-age geometry with centuries-long tradition.

Why is this necklace so on-point? It’s for the next generation of luxury travellers who won’t blink twice at striking, unconventional declarations. It’s undoubtedly a break from hyper-swaggering classicism but by no means prestige-clumsy. Perfect for luxury vacations, high-profile red carpet events, or just begging for attention at a gorgeous soiree.

Messika’s rise to heritage maisons status continues apace. The house is fast becoming a symbol of young decadence, excess, and saucy womanhood. Beyoncé, Rihanna, and Bella Hadid have all been regularly snapped in her dresses, which makes it little surprise that this piece is being hailed as the future of high jewelry.

For whom jewelry is more than just ornamentation—a message, a mood, a movement—the Beyond the Light necklace is a calling card. It references the modern collector’s desire for relevance and novelty, for jewelry that tells tales of cosmic wonder and unapologetic glamour.
