TL;DR — In 2026, Karwa Chauth is on Thursday 29 October, Diwali on Sunday 8 November and Bhai Dooj on Wednesday 11 November. A necklace set with matching earrings is the safest festive gift, and red tones suit Karwa Chauth. Order early: orders placed before 8 pm ship the same day (Monday to Saturday) and usually arrive 5–7 business days later, so the dates below leave room for that.
The last safe day to order
Order by 8 pm on these dates and standard delivery arrives by the day before the festival. Remote pin codes can take up to 10 business days, so order a few days earlier if you're sending to one.
| Festival | Date | Order by |
|---|---|---|
| Karwa Chauth | Thu, 29 October | Tue, 20 October |
| Diwali | Sun, 8 November | Fri, 30 October |
| Bhai Dooj | Wed, 11 November | Mon, 2 November |

Karwa Chauth — for your wife
Karwa Chauth is traditional, and red is the colour most women reach for. A red stone necklace set with matching earrings is the easy win: it goes with the red or maroon outfit she's likely to wear, and it's a complete look in one gift.
- Pick red or maroon stones if you're unsure — they're the most traditional choice for the day.
- A full set beats a single piece for Karwa Chauth. It's a dressed-up evening, and a set reads as a proper gift.
- Match the metal to her wedding jewellery if you know it. Silver-tone pieces suit her if she already wears silver-tone or white stones.
Diwali — for mom, your wife or a friend
Diwali outfits are brighter and more varied, so choose the colour of the stones by the outfit rather than by tradition.
- For mom: a lighter set she can wear to every puja and family visit, not just one evening.
- For your wife or partner: a statement set that photographs well — Diwali is the most photographed night of the year.
- For a friend: statement earrings. No sizes to guess, and easy to wear with anything.

Bhai Dooj — for your sister
Bhai Dooj follows Diwali closely, so she'll already have festive outfits. A pair of statement earrings or a light necklace set adds something new without competing with what she wore on Diwali.
- Under ₹500: a single pair of statement earrings.
- ₹500–₹900: a complete necklace and earring set.
Earrings are the easiest Bhai Dooj gift — nothing to size, and they go with every outfit. See all earrings →

Caring for festive jewellery
Festive evenings mean perfume, sweat and late nights. To keep the shine:
- Put jewellery on after perfume and hairspray, not before.
- Wipe each piece with a soft, dry cloth before you put it away.
- Store it dry, in its own pouch or box.
With this routine, the rhodium finish typically lasts 1.5–2 years. More tips in our care guide.
