Sūrya

The Sūrya Collection by Noir KĀLA embodies raw elegance and the quiet presence of the sun. Inspired by the Sanskrit word Sūrya, meaning “sun,” these designs celebrate vitality, clarity, and timeless strength.

The collection features a range of Sūrya earrings, versatile Sūrya hoops, and bold Sūrya ear weights — pieces that balance lightness, form, and depth. From everyday hoops to sculptural statement adornments, Sūrya is designed for those who seek jewelry with intention, presence, and individuality. Every piece is handcrafted to create adornments meant to be worn, layered, and remembered.

Surya — Meaning & Symbolism

In Sanskrit, Sūrya means “sun” — a symbol of vitality, clarity, and illumination. The Sūrya Collection draws inspiration from this meaning, interpreting it through a modern, design-driven lens.

Within Noir KĀLA’s language of mythic-modern expression, these pieces embody quiet energy and bold form without overstating spiritual meaning. Rather than claiming to hold mystical powers, the Sūrya earrings, hoops, and ear weights are envisioned as contemporary symbols — jewelry that reflects the balance of light, strength, and individuality.

Each piece blends cultural inspiration with Noir KĀLA’s evolving aesthetic, honoring origins while shaping an identity rooted in modern craft and timeless artistry.

Materials & Finishes
• 925 Sterling Silver — Durability & Brilliance

The 925 sterling silver Sūrya earrings and hoops are crafted for strength, longevity, and wearability. Over time, silver naturally develops a soft patina, which can be polished away or embraced for added depth and character. Simple care steps — such as storing in a pouch and polishing gently — help maintain its luminous finish and heirloom quality.

• Brass — Warmth, Texture & Patina

The brass Sūrya pieces carry a grounding tone and substantial weight, developing a unique patina with age. Each wearer’s journey shapes the look of the brass, deepening its natural texture and individuality over time. Whether polished bright or left to evolve naturally, brass offers both modern expression and timeless authenticity.

Craftsmanship & Origin — Small-Batch Artistry

Every Sūrya piece is handcrafted in Rajasthan, India, where small-batch, intergenerational workshops preserve centuries-old techniques in metalwork and ornament shaping. Artisans combine traditional silversmithing skills with modern design precision, allowing Noir KĀLA to create pieces that merge heritage craftsmanship with a grungy, futuristic identity.

The result is intentional, small-batch jewelry — jewelry designed slowly, thoughtfully, and sustainably. Each Sūrya creation represents a meeting point between cultural respect, modern design, and artistry shaped for today.

Size, Weight & Fit Guide
Surya Hoops

Diameter: 5 cm

Wire Gauge: 18-gauge

Pair Weight: 20 g (925 sterling silver) / 15 g (brass)

Designed for balance and comfort, these hoops feel lightweight while offering a striking visual presence. They can be styled as standalone pieces or layered seamlessly with other Noir KĀLA designs.

Surya Ear Weights

Length: 8 cm

Pair Weight: 45 g (brass)

Crafted as statement adornments, the ear weights carry a bold yet grounded presence. While not designed for everyday wear, they create intentional moments of expression for those seeking distinctive form and gravity.

Styling — Minimal Layers & Statement Pieces

The Sūrya hoops bring effortless versatility, transitioning easily from minimal daily wear to layered styling when paired with other Noir KĀLA creations. They can be worn solo for a subtle nod to form or combined with cuffs and studs to create contrast and dimension.

The Sūrya ear weights, on the other hand, are designed for occasions where impact and presence matter most. Their scale, movement, and sculptural quality lend themselves to statement styling, embodying Noir KĀLA’s evolving aesthetic — bold, intentional, and quietly powerful.

Care & Maintenance

925 Sterling Silver: Wear regularly to reduce tarnish. Store in a soft pouch, avoid chemical exposure, and polish gently with a cloth to restore brilliance.

Brass: Keep away from moisture and chemicals to preserve surface integrity. Wipe gently after wear and store airtight when not in use. Embrace the natural patina or polish to maintain brightness — both approaches honor the material’s evolving character.

With proper care, Sūrya earrings, hoops, and ear weights are designed to age beautifully, becoming more personal over time.

Frequently asked questions

The name Surya comes from the Sanskrit word Sūrya, meaning “sun.” Across traditions, the sun has long symbolized vitality, clarity, and illumination. At Noir KĀLA, we interpret this inspiration with intention and subtlety, avoiding overstatement or costume-like representations.

The Surya Collection channels this meaning into designs that emphasize presence, balance, and quiet strength. Each Surya hoop or ear weight is envisioned as a symbolic adornment — jewelry that draws on the sun’s association with light and expression while honoring craftsmanship and origin.

Rather than claiming mystical power, these pieces reflect timeless meaning translated through modern forms. Designed to move seamlessly between everyday wear and bold statements, the Surya Collection embodies a balance between symbolism, individuality, and contemporary elegance.

The Surya Collection features three signature designs, created for both versatility and symbolic intent:

Surya Hoops in 925 Sterling Silver — 5 cm diameter, 18-gauge wire, 20 g per pair.

Surya Hoops in Brass — 5 cm diameter, 18-gauge wire, 15 g per pair.

Surya Ear Weights in Brass — 8 cm length, 45 g per pair.

The silver hoops offer a luminous, lasting finish, while the brass hoops carry a warm, grounding tone that deepens with time. For wearers seeking a bolder presence, the Surya ear weights make a striking statement without compromising Noir KĀLA’s clean aesthetic.

By balancing lightweight comfort, intentional design, and small-batch craftsmanship, the Surya Collection offers jewelry that is timeless, distinctive, and made to evolve with the wearer.

Each piece in the Surya Collection is thoughtfully designed to balance impact with wearability:

Brass Surya Hoops: 15 g per pair → lightweight and easy to style daily.

925 Sterling Silver Hoops: 20 g per pair → slightly heavier but still comfortable for extended wear.

Surya Ear Weights: 45 g per pair, 8 cm in length → designed as statement adornments for intentional styling.

By providing exact size and weight measurements, Noir KĀLA ensures wearers can choose pieces that complement their comfort preferences while offering versatility in expression. Whether you prefer the effortless lightness of the hoops or the bold presence of the ear weights, each design reflects the brand’s dedication to clarity, transparency, and small-batch intention.

The Surya Collection is handcrafted from two signature materials — 925 sterling silver and brass — selected for their durability, depth, and evolving beauty:

925 Sterling Silver → A luminous, skin-friendly metal with lasting strength. Over time, it naturally develops a soft patina, which can be polished away or celebrated as part of the piece’s unique character.

Brass → Known for its warmth and grounding tone, brass develops an organic patina as it matures. Some wearers polish it back to a golden sheen, while others allow it to darken naturally for a deeper texture.

By working with these materials intentionally, Noir KĀLA embraces a design philosophy that honors transformation and individuality. With proper care, each Surya piece is crafted to age beautifully, becoming more personal and expressive through years of wear.
