Collection: Sawan Collection

Sawan — the month of Shravan — is the holiest time of year for devotees of Lord Shiva. It is when temples fill on Sawan Somvar (the Mondays of Shravan), when fasts are kept, and when many people choose to begin wearing rudraksha for the first time. This collection brings together our Shiva-devotional pieces in genuine 925 sterling silver: rudraksha bracelets, Om pendants and rings, trishul studs and lockets, and Shiva bands — for men, for women, and to wear as a pair.

Every piece is hallmarked 925 sterling silver, hypoallergenic and gentle on sensitive skin, and arrives gift-boxed with an authenticity card. Silver is the traditional metal for devotional jewellery — cooling, calming and, unlike plated alternatives, it lasts.

What do people wear during Sawan?

• Rudraksha — the single most-worn piece of Sawan. The bead is called the tear of Shiva, and Monday is traditionally the day to begin wearing it. Read our rudraksha guide for the wearing rules and mukhi meanings.
• Om — worn as a pendant, ring, band or stud; the most universal of all devotional symbols.
• Trishul — Shiva's trident, representing strength and protection. Popular as studs and lockets for men.
• Shiva and Mahadev bands — a quiet everyday reminder, suitable for office wear.
• Rudraksha mala — for those who chant or meditate through the month.

Why silver for Sawan?

Silver is considered a cooling, sattvic metal in Indian tradition, which is why it is the customary choice for devotional jewellery and for setting rudraksha. It also protects the bead: a silver-capped rudraksha does not rub directly against clothing and lasts far longer. Practically, 925 sterling silver is nickel-free and hypoallergenic, so it suits daily wear right through the month of fasting and temple visits.

Sawan and Raksha Bandhan

Raksha Bandhan falls on the full moon at the end of Shravan, which is why Sawan and Rakhi shopping overlap. If you are buying for both, our silver rakhi collection includes rudraksha and Om rakhis that carry the same devotional theme — see the silver rakhi guide.

Frequently asked questions

What should I wear during Sawan? Rudraksha is the most traditional choice, followed by Om and trishul designs. Many devotees begin wearing rudraksha on the first Monday of Sawan.

Which day should I start wearing rudraksha? Monday, the day dedicated to Lord Shiva. Sawan Somvar is considered the most auspicious Monday of all.

Can women wear rudraksha? Yes. Some conservative traditions place restrictions, but the widely held view is that rudraksha is open to everyone, regardless of gender or age.

Why is rudraksha set in silver rather than gold? Silver is regarded as a cooling, calming metal suited to devotional wear, and it is the customary setting for rudraksha. It also shields the bead from wear.

Is your silver real 925? Yes — every piece is hallmarked 925 sterling silver and ships with an authenticity card. Here is how to check 925 silver yourself.

Can I wear these pieces every day, including while bathing? The silver can be worn daily, but remove rudraksha before bathing or swimming — prolonged soaking can crack the seed. See can you wear silver every day.

Will the silver darken during the month? It may dull slightly with sweat and humidity, which is normal tarnish rather than poor quality. A soft cloth restores it — see why silver turns black.

Do you ship in time for Sawan Somvar? Yes, we ship pan-India with tracking. Order early in the month, as festive delivery windows get busy.
