About ARIYA

Our story starts
in Phnom Penh.

Kongsen Chakrya founded ARIYA in 2010. Our jewelry takes inspiration from Khmer art and brings traditional patterns into modern designs.

We draw on familiar curves, floral shapes and carved details to create pieces that connect our heritage with everyday life.

Khmer art.
A new design.

A lotus petal, a flowing curve, a detail carved in stone. These familiar shapes inspire the patterns and forms of our jewelry.
