The kinetic dynamism of the Move Uno design
In 2007, designer Valérie Messika shook up the conventions of jewellery by freeing the diamond from its static setting. This bold approach gave rise to an aesthetic in which the gem becomes mobile and reacts to every movement of the body. This pre-owned necklace, reference 10111-WG, perfectly illustrates this vision with a central brilliant-cut diamond weighing approximately 0.05 carats and graded G/VS. The stone glides freely within an oblong structure crafted from rhodium-plated 18-carat white gold. The minimalist design focuses the light on the stone’s movement, creating a striking and resolutely contemporary visual effect.
Architecture and jewellery craftsmanship
The openwork setting is designed to maximise light penetration. The setting reveals precise craftsmanship, featuring a bail-set stone and seven diamonds symmetrically arranged along the chain. These are held in place by a delicate bezel setting that forms a continuous metal band around each gemstone. This integration creates a fluid visual continuity whilst ensuring a silky-smooth feel against the skin. The 750 white gold features a full mirror polish that enhances the refraction of the entire piece tenfold. The piece features a total of 8 diamonds, with an estimated weight of 0.13 carats.
