When is Karwa Chauth in 2026?
Karwa Chauth 2026 falls on Thursday 29 October. The fast begins before sunrise with sargi, eaten before first light, and is broken after the moon is sighted that evening. Married women keep a nirjala fast through the day, dress in red or maroon for the puja, and view the moon through a sieve before their husband gives them the first sip of water. Because the whole day is photographed, jewellery bought for Karwa Chauth is usually chosen to be worn on the day itself rather than saved.
What should I gift my wife on Karwa Chauth?
Something she can wear on the day itself, which is why red dominates this collection. She will be dressed in red or maroon for the puja, so a ruby red pendant, a pair of red studs or a red stone ring finishes the look rather than sitting in a box until the next occasion. If you want the gift to be about the marriage rather than the outfit, a mangalsutra carries more meaning than anything else here. If you want it to be about her, choose the piece in the style she already wears rather than the most elaborate one.
Karwa Chauth gifts by budget
Under ₹1,500 — ruby CZ heart studs (₹999), American diamond solitaire studs (₹1,199), an adjustable solitaire ring (₹1,199), a plain silver anklet (₹1,449) or toi et moi ruby CZ earrings (₹1,449). The most gifted range, and the one where red stones are strongest.

₹3,000 – ₹10,000 — ruby CZ halo necklaces and rings, ruby tennis bracelets, cuff bangles, toi et moi pendant and earring sets from ₹3,999, and most of our mangalsutras.
₹10,000+ — natural ruby in 925 silver, and certified lab grown diamond earrings, rings and bracelets in genuine gold for a milestone Karwa Chauth — a first one after the wedding, or a round-number anniversary year.
What do you give for sargi?
Sargi is given by the mother-in-law to the daughter-in-law before sunrise, and it traditionally holds sweets, dry fruits, fruit and something to wear. The jewellery in a sargi thali is usually small, red and immediately wearable rather than expensive, because she puts it on for the puja the same evening. Ruby red studs, a slim adjustable ring or a plain silver anklet are the usual choices, and all of them sit under ₹1,500 in this collection. If you are the mother-in-law buying sargi, choose something she can wear that night — that is the whole point of the tradition.
Why is red the colour for Karwa Chauth?
Red is the colour of suhaag, worn by married women for the festivals that mark the marriage itself. It is what most women wear for the Karwa Chauth puja and the sargi in the morning, so red stones match the day in a way that clear stones do not. The red in this collection comes from ruby cubic zirconia, cut and set so it holds colour under evening light and camera flash, which matters on an occasion that is photographed.
Is a mangalsutra a good Karwa Chauth gift?
It is the most traditional choice, and it works particularly well when the one she wears daily has worn thin or she has never owned a lighter second one. Many women keep a heavy mangalsutra for occasions and want something delicate for daily wear, so gifting the lighter one is often more useful than gifting a grander version of what she already has. Our mangalsutras are 925 sterling silver with black beads, built light enough to wear every day.
What if I do not know her ring size?
Avoid rings, or choose an adjustable one. Pendants, earrings and mangalsutras need no sizing at all, which is why they are the safer gift when you cannot measure without giving the surprise away. Our adjustable rings flex across sizes 10 to 16. If she already wears a ring on the same finger, our size guide shows how to measure it while she is not wearing it.
Will it arrive before Karwa Chauth?
Order by 22 October 2026 to be comfortable. Orders are processed in one to two business days and then shipped, so allow three to five days for delivery within India, and longer for smaller towns. Leaving it to the last week is the usual reason a Karwa Chauth gift arrives late, and made to order pieces need more time than that.
Do you deliver across India, and is Cash on Delivery available?
Yes to both. We ship free to every serviceable pincode in India — Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Jaipur, Chennai, Kolkata, Lucknow, Chandigarh and beyond — and every order is tracked. Silver pieces are eligible for Cash on Delivery; lab grown diamond gold pieces ship prepaid with free, fully insured delivery. The jewellery is made in our own unit in Sitapura, Jaipur, so it ships direct from the manufacturer with no distributor in between.
Can you gift wrap it and hide the price?
Yes to both, at no extra cost. Every order arrives in a gift box with a handwritten card, you can add your message at checkout for us to write in, and there is no pricing anywhere in the parcel. You can also send it directly to a different address if you want it to arrive somewhere other than home.
Is the silver genuine, and can she wear it daily?
Yes. Every silver piece is 925 sterling silver, hallmarked under Certificate No. C-7590712221 and stamped 925 on the metal. It is not silver plated base metal. The pieces are rhodium polished, which slows tarnishing, and they are nickel free and lead free, so they suit most sensitive skin and daily wear. Gold pieces are genuine 9K, 10K and 14K gold, not gold plated silver, and lab grown diamonds come with a grading certificate.
What if a stone falls out later?
We reset it free, and if the stone is lost we replace it with a matching one. Every silver piece carries our lifetime warranty, which also covers manufacturing defects and free re-polishing and re-plating, for as long as she owns it. Write to care@ornatejewels.com or call 8600718666 with the order number. Courier both ways is at the customer's cost, and the work itself is free.
