Celebrating the SMILEY 50th Anniversary this year, famed joaillerie Messika will launch a limited edition novelties collaboration with the iconic brand.
Valérie Messika and SMILEY’s Nicolas Loufani have teamed up to reimagine the smiley emoticon in the form of three jeweled interpretations – a “My Move” bracelet, a “Lucky Move” pendant necklace, and an “XXL Lucky Move” necklace.
The bracelet comprises black rubber with pave diamonds and a smiley motif, the “Lucky” necklace contains a gold-dial center Smiley pendant, and the “XXL” necklace features the Messika brand’s meticulous pave diamond setting of 7.90 carats. In addition, the diamond chain includes several hundred yellow and white diamonds mixed together to create the iconic smiley face image.
Crafted as the “world’s most expensive SMILEY,” the limited edition novelties will be available on April 10.
More information on this collection and pricing can be found on the SMILEY x Messika website.
