Iva Esa was formed from the mysteries of eastern tradition wandering through Brooklyn's dark streets. A metal collage of cold geometric forms holding warm color and glowing darkness, captivated by the movement within stillness.
Founded and designed by Sobia Ali, Iva Esa is an ode to endless curiosity.
Founder & Designer
Sobia Ali is a technologist and maker drawn equally to structure and story. Her work reflects a fascination with geometry, contrast, and the quiet power of form, bringing an architectural and technical eye to pieces that balance precision with organic imperfection.
Each piece is individually hand finished, and many begin as hand-carved forms before casting. Crafted in sterling silver and produced in small batches, the designs embrace natural variations in texture and oxidation as part of their character.

Designed and finished in the Manhattan studio, balancing structure with warmth.
Oxidation softens with time, creating a surface that becomes unique to its wearer — the movement within stillness, worn close.
Jewelry meant to be worn daily, to age with you, and to gather story over time.
