Allia meaning supreme and outstanding in Hebrew are the qualities that define each piece of jewelry from designer sisters Payal and Anuja Kedia’s exquisite fine jewelry collection. The namesake of the brand symbolizes their five year old niece Allia, whose spontaneous and bold personality is inherent in the designs and the brand.

Growing up in Thailand and India and of Indian heritage, New York based Payal and Bangkok based Anuja were surrounded at an early age by the intricate world of style and design. Born into a culture which celebrates the gifting of jewelry on special occasions and where jewelry is passed on from one generation to the next, they believe that jewelry is a symbol and expression of one’s personal style.

With the creation of Allia, they carry on a proud family tradition; their father a diamond dealer and stone supplier, their mother and other sister with their own retrospective jewelry lines and brother a jewelry manufacturer. Their family’s creativity together with Payal’s background in Graphic Design and Communications and Anuja’s in Fine Arts has steered their aesthetics and helped cultivate their taste for their own designs. The sisters are also largely influenced by frequent travels around the world making it part of their visual landscape when designing Allia.

The Allia collection is celebrated for it’s beautifully faceted gemstones in unpredictable and unique shapes available in 18K gold and in 18K gold vermeil. The pieces are both contemporary and classic in style and include chain and bib necklaces, hoop earrings, statement earrings, chunky cocktail rings and stone bangles.
