It all began at the age of 18, as an apprentice in a prestigious jewelry store,

rue François 1er in Paris.

Fascinated by the beauty of jewelry, Mélissa became aware of the complexity of the craftsmanship that gives birth to these exceptional pieces.

The dream has begun.

She in turn embarked on her own creations, for her pleasure and that of her loved ones, before being "swept up" by the discovery of the world.

From the United States to New Zealand, Melissa is particularly touched by the diversity of nature, its splendour and its fragility. These trips marked her and influenced her creations and artistic choices.

​

In 2019, she completed her training by joining the Haute École de Joaillerie.

Inspiration flows, technique becomes more precise, gesture refined.

As the months went by, the first jewels of the New York collection were born.

The free spirit was born.

Know-how

We create in the authentic tradition of artisanal know-how, in small series, by hand in

our workshop in Île-de-France.

​Quality

No half measures for tailor-made quality.

Our materials are rigorously selected

for their nobility, their resistance and their purity.​

Ethics

Nobility is not everything and quality makes sense when it is part of a responsible approach.

In this context, the materials chosen do not come from countries where extraction could be a source of ecological and human disasters.

To honor this subtle and precious nature, NAYA has chosen to work with gold and silver, paying particular attention to their origin. Thoughtful choices, respectful of people and the environment. These noble materials, selected with rigor and transparency, set or refined, are the cornerstones of Mélissa's creations.

But do you know its secrets?
