How to Choose a Necklace Set for Karwa Chauth 2026
Share
Karwa Chauth falls on 29 October in 2026, with moonrise around 8:15 PM in Delhi. Most of the evening is spent in your festive outfit, so the necklace set you pick should suit the outfit, your neckline and the light you will be photographed in. Here is a simple way to choose one.
1. Start with your outfit colour
Red, maroon and deep green sarees and lehengas look natural with antique gold-tone sets, because the warm metal matches the zari work. Pastel, ivory, pink and emerald outfits suit American Diamond (CZ) sets in silver-tone or champagne gold-tone, which add sparkle without competing with the colour. If your outfit already has heavy embroidery, choose one statement piece and keep the earrings smaller.
2. Match the necklace to your neckline
- High or round neck: a choker or short collar sits cleanly at the base of the neck.
- Blouse with a deep back or V neck: a V-shaped or leaf-cluster necklace follows the neckline.
- Plain saree blouse: a long pearl or beaded necklace with a pendant adds length and works with a small choker layered over it.
3. Think about evening light
Karwa Chauth pooja and moonrise happen after sunset, mostly under warm indoor lights and diyas. Gold-tone and pearl-finish pieces glow well in warm light, while AD stones catch the light in photos. It helps to see the set in the store lighting before you decide.
4. Choose a set, not just a necklace
A set comes with matching earrings, so you do not have to match pieces yourself. Our new Karwa Chauth necklace sets start at Rs 4,895, and you can browse the festive range in our Karwa Chauth jewellery edit.
5. Know what imitation jewellery is
Stella Casa sells imitation (artificial) jewellery. The stones are American Diamond (CZ) or coloured imitation stones, and the pearls are pearl-finish beads, not natural diamonds, gemstones or pearls. To keep a set looking good, keep it away from water, perfume and moisture and store it in a dry pouch or box. See our jewellery care guide for more.
