Returning More To The Ecosystem That Gifts Us Its Diamonds

Displaying The Highest Level Of Artisanal Craftsmanship

“We display the highest level of artisanal craftsmanship through supplying ethically sourced natural diamonds in a manner which supports people, communities, our industry and our precious planet. Our overall impact matters.”
Our passion is to promote the intrinsic value of a natural diamond. We strongly believe more needs to be done by the midstream to promote the difference between each of our natural diamonds and their individual contribution along the entire natural diamond value chain.

To tell their journey from indigenous community to end customer, and how each diamond manufacturer has their own social and environmental impact. The sustainable transformation is a series of steps which has truly begun for us.

Work With Purpose

Our mission is to maintain and advance our proven Diversity, Equity & Inclusion status as Namibia’s leading employer of the disabled. Where artisanal expertise in diamond manufacturing demonstrates that disability does not mean inability.

We are audited and verified annually by the Namibian Employment Equity Commission who recognise us as the single largest employer of disabled Namibians in the country. 

What started with the guidance of the Namibian Disability Council under the Prime Minister, is now driven by the social networks of those that work for Andre Messika LTD.

An Unbreakable Commitment To Transparency, Sustainability, and Service

With a clear focus on our diamond cutting operation in Namibia, and to honour our achievements with DE&I, it was evident that these SDGs resonated specifically with Andre Messika LTD’s guiding principles.
