Born in Bhubaneswar. Built for Every Indian .

The story of a silver jewellery brand rooted in Odisha — and why we believe every woman deserves real, beautiful, affordable silver

Odisha has always had a deep, unbreakable relationship with silver. From the legendary Tarakasi filigree craftsmen of Cuttack who have been weaving silver into art for over 500 years, to the silver payal worn by women across every village and city in the state — silver is not just jewellery here. It is identity. It is tradition. It is home.

Hivana was born out of that same love for silver — and a simple belief: every woman in Odisha, and across India, deserves to wear real, handcrafted 925 sterling silver jewellery without paying a fortune for it.

“Silver is not just an accessory in Odisha. It is a language. We built Hivana to speak it fluently.”

The Beginning — Why We Started Hivana

Walk into any market in Bhubaneswar — Saheed Nagar, Unit 1, Kalpana Square — and you will find jewellery shops everywhere. Gold jewellery in glass cases. Artificial fashion jewellery on plastic hooks. But finding genuinely handcrafted 925 sterling silver jewellery — real silver, thoughtfully designed, honestly priced — was harder than it should have been.

The big national brands had silver jewellery, yes. But their designs felt mass-produced, generic, and disconnected from the aesthetic that Odisha women actually wear. And local jewellers carried traditional pieces that were beautiful but not always suited to everyday modern life — to a college lecture in Bhubaneswar, an office in Infocity, or a casual evening at Ekamra Haat.

There was a gap. A gap between the heritage of Odisha's silver tradition and the modern daily lives of its women. Hivana was created to fill that gap.

We set out to create handcrafted 925 sterling silver jewellery that is:

• Genuinely real — 925 hallmark silver, every single piece, no plating, no compromise

• Thoughtfully designed — beautiful enough to wear every day, versatile enough for every occasion

• Honestly priced — starting at Rs 525, because real silver jewellery should be accessible, not just aspirational

• Made with care — handcrafted, not factory-produced; every piece shows the hand that made it

Our Odisha Roots — Silver is in Our DNA

We are based in Bhubaneswar — the temple city, the smart city, the city that is simultaneously ancient and fast-moving. A city where a woman might visit the Lingaraj temple in the morning, attend a tech conference in the afternoon, and meet friends at a café in the evening. She needs jewellery that moves with her through all of it.

But our connection to Odisha's silver heritage runs deeper than geography. Odisha is one of the few places in India where silver jewellery has never lost its place in daily life. In most of India, silver jewellery has been pushed aside by gold and fashion jewellery. In Odisha, silver has held its ground — worn daily, gifted at festivals, passed between generations.

“The women of Odisha have always known that silver is the right metal for daily life. We just gave it a new language.”

The Tarakasi tradition of Cuttack — silver filigree work that is recognised as a Geographical Indication (GI) product of India — is a testament to what Odisha can do with silver when craftsmanship meets passion. We deeply respect that heritage. Hivana's designs are different in style — modern, clean, versatile — but the spirit is the same: silver, crafted with care, made to be worn and loved.

What Hivana Makes — 925 Silver Jewellery for Modern Odisha

Every piece in the Hivana collection is crafted from genuine 925 sterling silver — the internationally recognised standard for silver jewellery. 92.5 percent pure silver, alloyed with copper for strength and durability. Real enough to last for years. Light enough to wear every day. Beautiful enough to get noticed.

Silver Pendants — Our Most Loved Collection

From the simple, elegant Pure Silver Heart Pendant at Rs 525 to the artistically detailed Silver Chameleon Guardian Pendant at Rs 2,400 — our pendant collection is designed for women who want to express something through their jewellery without shouting about it. Subtle statements. Lasting impressions.

Silver Earrings — For Every Face and Every Occasion

From delicate daily wear studs to slightly bolder festive pieces — our earring collection is built for the Odisha woman who wears jewellery not for occasions but as a way of life. Every pair is 925 sterling silver, lightweight, and designed to complement rather than compete with your face.

Silver Payal — Odisha's Favourite Jewellery, Reimagined

Nowhere in India is payal more deeply loved than in Odisha. Silver anklets are worn here not just for weddings or festivals but every single day — the way women in other parts of India wear bangles or earrings. Our silver payal collection honours that tradition with designs that are elegant, durable, and built for daily wear. The sound of Hivana payal walking through the streets of Bhubaneswar feels, to us, like coming home.

Pendant Sets — For Gifts and Special Occasions

Curated pendant and earring sets that are beautifully packaged and perfect for gifting — for birthdays, Raksha Bandhan, Diwali, Durga Puja, weddings, and every celebration that Odisha does so beautifully and so often.

Men's Silver Collection — For the Modern Odia Man

Silver has always been worn by men in Odisha — the kada, the ring, the chain. We bring that tradition forward with a men's collection of 925 silver chains, bracelets, and rings designed for the contemporary Odia man who carries his culture and his personal style with equal confidence. From the Men's Silver Chain at Rs 9,550 to the bold Men's Silver Bracelet at Rs 13,600.

Our Price Philosophy — Real Silver, Real Prices

One of the questions we get most often is: how can Hivana silver be so affordable? The answer is simple — we made a choice. We chose not to spend money on expensive retail spaces, celebrity endorsements, or heavy advertising. Instead, we put that money into the quality of the silver itself and the skill of the craftspeople who make each piece.

The result is a collection where genuine 925 sterling silver pendants start at Rs 525. Where a beautifully crafted pair of silver earrings can be yours for under Rs 1,000. Where a premium men's bracelet in 925 silver is Rs 9,000 — not Rs 40,000.

“We believe affordable should never mean fake. Every Hivana piece is real 925 silver — the same purity as fine jewellery that costs ten times as much.”

This is our promise to every customer in Bhubaneswar, in Cuttack, in Puri, in Rourkela, in Sambalpur, and across Odisha: when you buy Hivana, you are buying real silver at honest prices. Nothing more, nothing less.

Hivana is For Odisha — and For India

We ship across India, but Odisha is home. The women and men of this state are our first audience, our most cherished customers, and the inspiration behind much of what we design.

We understand the Odisha aesthetic — the love for silver payal that has been passed down through generations, the preference for pieces that work as well with a cotton saree on a Tuesday morning as they do with a lehenga at a cousin's wedding on a Saturday night. The desire for jewellery that is real, not pretend. The value placed on craftsmanship over branding.

We also ship to Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, Puri, Berhampur, Rourkela, Sambalpur, Balasore, Brahmapur, Koraput, and every corner of Odisha. Order online, and your Hivana silver arrives carefully packed, ready to wear or gift.

• Free shipping available on orders above the threshold — check current offers at hivana.in

• Secure online payment — UPI, cards, net banking, and COD options available

• Easy returns — because we want you to love every piece you receive
