The pre-owned Messika market

Signed jewellery keeps a floor value tied to metal weight and stone quality; the maison's signature and the presence of the certificate add the decisive resale premium.

How we authenticate a Messika piece

Every piece that joins Monogram Paris follows the same protocol in our Paris workshops: no catalogue photography, no supplier imagery, only shots of the actual item.

  • Maker's and fineness hallmarks read under a binocular loupe
  • Precise weighing and metal density check
  • Stones: colour, clarity, cut and setting examined (certificate where available)
  • Clasps, hinges and engravings compared with the maison's references
  • Two expert sign-offs before the listing goes live

Care and storage

  • Clean with lukewarm soapy water and a very soft brush
  • Remove the piece before sport, swimming and household products
  • Annual setting check for claw-set stones
