VALLIYAN is one of India's first luxury fashion jewellery labels founded in 2008 by Nitya Arora, a major in fashion design from Parsons School of design, New York. Growing up in South Mumbai Art Deco architecture has always influenced and inspired Nitya. She works with semi-precious stones, glass, crystals, metals, acrylic, wood and rare materials, with gold plating for the jewellery and genuine leather for handbags. VALLIYAN accessories reflect a sculptural textured quality, are entirely handmade in India and a lot of the pieces are one of a kind. VALLIYAN's cross cultural jewellery aesthetic is influenced by Nitya's travels around the globe. Her designs exude the charm of bygone eras, relevant in todays time with a promise of the future.
