Hello! I’m looking at both the messika baby move or move uno in pave (likely yellow gold). Initially I was set on the uno because of the price and the fact that it’s versatile (can be stacked or worn alone) but the baby move has really grown on me. It’s the perfect in between size, however, a little more than I’d like to spend. Any pictures or feedback on the quality of this piece? I have a few necklaces from Cartier and VCA, but wanted something totally different that this piece fit the bill! TIA!

Hey! I was trying to decide the same thing and ended up going with the baby move in rose gold. I wear it stacked and it works with a variety of different necklaces. The uno and baby move aren't that different in size so if price is a factor, I'd go with the uno because I just really liked that the diamond(s) moved lol. Let me know if you'd like to see some pics and I'll try to post later on today.
Thank you so much for your response! I would love to see some pics, especially layered with other necklaces. I agree, the moving diamond is what draws me to the necklace. I am leaning towards the uno, but my mind seems to change every day!
What do you think about the quality? I don’t know much about Messika and haven’t been able to find many reviews.
Good to hear your thoughts on seeing it in person! I’ve been stalking their website for inspiration but both necklaces (all their jewelry, really) is just so beautiful, it’s hard to decide! I’m surprised I don’t hear more about the brand. Are you thinking of adding any pieces?
I think the quality is great, I wear mine everyday and haven't had any issues. The diamonds move pretty freely. I compared both sizes and they aren't that different, one is just slightly longer and has more diamonds but if you're mostly getting it for the moving effect, I think the uno is really nice too!
I will probably private message you the pictures because I don't think they are forum quality, haha.
I would love to, one day. Right now my budget and lifestyle make it impractical to wear a Messika piece with moving diamonds (I spend a good part of the year camping on a beach…hate the idea of sand wrecking it!).
But I agree that the brand deserves more attention. I think the Move Romane bangle is 1000X more beautiful and interesting than the Cartier Love that everyone seems to covet. And love the My Move leather wrap bracelets better than Hermes! If I won the lottery, I’d be getting Messika and Dinh Van pieces instead of Cartier and VCA!
With your necklace decision, imho, I prefer the non-pave Baby Move. I think the 3 stones in the non-pave bar make more of a statement and has more interest than one stone in the pave setting. Really highlights the whole “move” aspect of the piece. Show us if you get either one!
I agree with foxgal. The non pave baby move necklace is more intriguing than the move uno pave necklace. Personally, the latter doesn’t seem worth the money to me, but I’m sure it would look lovely when layered with other necklaces. It is dainty but dodd not seem to have the presence of a Cartier XS amulettte or vca sweet Alhambra pendant worn on its own.
I recently discovered the brand and I love the move romane rings!

I ended up getting the move uno! My SA had both the pave move uno and the baby move, both were gorgeous, but the move was the perfect size for me.
Show us a pic! Would love to see what it looks like on!
So hard to decide….they are all beautiful! I didn’t think I’d like the vertical one because it seems to not make sense with the “move” element…doesn’t the diamond always just stay at the bottom?….but it’s very pretty!
Agreed. The diamond doesn't really move, but there's still something about it....
