When are Dhanteras and Diwali 2026?

A quick note on Dhanteras and jewellery
Dhanteras is traditionally associated with buying gold, silver or new utensils. Artificial jewellery is not an investment or a substitute for that tradition. It is for wearing, gifting and looking your best across several festive days, at a fixed price that does not move with the gold rate.
1. Plan your three looks
Most families have a Dhanteras puja, a Diwali Lakshmi Puja and a few family visits or parties in between. Plan one outfit for each and choose jewellery per outfit instead of one set for everything. Warm gold-tone kundan and polki-style pieces suit red, maroon and green silks. Antique gold-tone temple pieces suit mustard and deep greens. American Diamond in rose gold-tone or silver-tone suits pastels, ivory and evening parties. Our Zeenat collection has statement kundan and polki-style pieces for the main puja evening.
2. Let one piece lead
With a heavily embroidered lehenga or saree, choose one bold piece, such as a necklace set or Rajwada Kundan Bangles, and keep the rest light. If your earrings are the star, like Rani Kundan Jhumkas, keep your neckline simple. For a fresh, lighter look at a party, try a cocktail ring such as the Suraj Moti Ring.
3. Necklace sets for the main evening
A kundan or polki-style necklace set is the easiest way to look put together for Lakshmi Puja. If you are shopping for one, read our necklace set guide on matching length and neckline to your outfit, and see the festive jewellery edit.
4. Gifts for Diwali
Jewellery is a popular Diwali gift for sisters, mothers, in-laws and colleagues. Browse the gifting collection or shop by budget: under ₹1,500, under ₹3,000 and under ₹5,000. A gift box with a note is available at the store and on the website.
5. Rent instead of buying for one big event
If you need a heavy bridal or party set for just one function, such as a cousin's wedding in the November season, you can rent. Stella Casa offers bridal jewellery on rent in East Delhi against a refundable deposit and ID, with store pickup. Message us on WhatsApp for availability for your date.

Common questions
What jewellery should I wear for Diwali?
Match your jewellery to your outfit colour and let one piece lead. Kundan and polki-style sets suit traditional silks and lehengas, while American Diamond suits pastels and evening parties.
Is the 20% offer available online?

Is artificial jewellery fine for Dhanteras and Diwali?
Yes, for wearing and gifting. Many families keep gold or silver purchases for Dhanteras and choose artificial kundan and polki-style jewellery for festive outfits because it gives a traditional look at an affordable, fixed price.

Keep it away from perfume, water and moisture, and store it in a dry pouch or box. See our Jewellery Care guide.
