Silver that slays

School Entrepreneurship Day · 2026

Hilver — silver that slays

“Hilver” — a name built on silver

Real silver. Real hustle. Big ideas. A junior jewellery venture launched with real, on-credit stock from Harris Nadar Jewellery.

01 — Our story

Real stock. Real stakes.

Joshua Ryan Harris isn’t selling craft-store beads or painted plastic. Every piece on this table is genuine silver, on loan from Harris Nadar Jewellery — the same silver our family has traded for years. For one day, Joshua Ryan Harris becomes the owner: setting prices, greeting customers, and looking after real stock. Nothing is bought outright, and everything unsold simply returns to the shelf. That’s what turns this into a genuine first business — not a pretend one.

The model in one line

Harris Nadar Jewellery lends the stock — Joshua Ryan Harris runs the table — unsold pieces walk right back to the shelf.

No money is lost if a piece doesn’t sell — it simply goes back on the shelf

Key takeaway

Joshua Ryan Harris is the owner for the day — the risk stays with the store, the lesson stays with Joshua Ryan Harris.

03 — Pricing model

The “no real loss” structure

01
Step 1 — Stock out

Harris Nadar Jewellery lends jewellery on credit. Each piece’s cost price is noted before the day begins.

02
Step 2 — Sale day

Joshua Ryan Harris sells at the listed price, collects cash, and marks each item off the sales tracker.

03
Step 3 — Settle up

Cost price of sold items returns to the store. Unsold pieces go straight back to the shelf.

What counts as earnings?

Once a piece sells, its cost price goes back to Harris Nadar Jewellery — the rest is Joshua Ryan Harris’s to keep. Many families agree on a simple split beforehand (a percentage of each sale, or a flat amount per piece sold) so Joshua Ryan Harris knows exactly what a sale is worth before the doors open.

Key takeaway

Worst case: a piece doesn’t sell and goes home with the store. Nobody’s money is ever at risk.
