Noya: When accessory becomes an exhibit
Noya sells handmade jewelleries with illustrations of sceneries, objects and characters
Accessories usually tie up all loose ends of a look and bring everything together. But what if the accessories themselves became the focal point of an outfit? How would that work?
Noya is a brand that brings whimsical beauty to accessories through minimalist designs. Founder Jesmin Akter Nishi started the brand in 2021 as an outlet for her arts and crafts. Her handmade jewelleries encapsulate her illustrations of sceneries, objects, and even characters. The jewelleries are made from resin, handmade clay, beads, and other materials.
Dupurbela necklace
The Dupurbela necklace is a three-part necklace with a clay base and is coated with resin. The illustration within the pendant is hand painted. The necklace is held together with a tassel.

The art within depicts a scenery of clothes drying under the sun, blowing in the wind, with a tree hanging over them. The picture is an ode to the artist's own childhood and where she grew up.
Even though the ornament has a minimalist art style, the three-part pendant makes it a standout piece. The combination of the tassel and the design makes it the perfect piece to go with a simple saree.

Tuktuk brooch
The Tuktuk brooch is inspired by a character the artist developed early on in her life, which she fleshed out through her craft.
The brooch itself is hand painted over clay. The best way to flaunt this beautiful piece is to pin it to your bag or purse, so you can carry it with you all the time. Moreover, if you want to wear it as an ornament, it is also available as a pendant.
