Dhanteras falls on Friday, 6 November 2026 and Diwali on Sunday, 8 November. The diamond gifts that carry the festival best are pieces worn long after it: huggies and studs, a pendant, a bracelet or bangle, a necklace for the evening. Every piece below is IGI certified and set in hallmarked gold.
When are Dhanteras and Diwali in 2026?
Dhanteras is on Friday, 6 November 2026 and Diwali, with Lakshmi Puja, on Sunday, 8 November. Karwa Chauth comes first, on Thursday, 29 October. The days just before Dhanteras are the busiest of the season, so the calmest time to choose is now.
Why gold and diamonds on Dhanteras?
Dhanteras is traditionally a day for bringing precious metal into the home. A diamond piece set in hallmarked gold keeps that tradition and gives her something to wear, not only to keep. Every Nivara piece is 14k or 18k BIS hallmarked gold, set with IGI certified diamonds.
Sol diamond bangle, from around ₹84,000. A slim gold bangle with a round cluster of diamonds at its centre, 0.85 carat in all. A Dhanteras piece she can wear every day.

Buying for yourself this Diwali
Diwali is a natural moment to buy the piece you have been thinking about all year. Solitaire studs, a tennis bracelet or a pendant with presence are the kind of purchase that marks the year you had. Come in, try them on, and take your time.
Gifting a couple
For a wedding or a first Diwali together, a diamond mangalsutra is the most meaningful single gift, and a pair of rings, one for each of them, is the most personal. See our diamond mangalsutras and couple rings.

Frequently asked questions
When are Dhanteras and Diwali in 2026?
Dhanteras 2026 is on Friday, 6 November and Diwali, with Lakshmi Puja, on Sunday, 8 November. Karwa Chauth comes earlier, on Thursday, 29 October 2026. If you are buying a gift for either festival, start a few weeks ahead so there is time to choose calmly.
Is it good to buy diamond jewellery on Dhanteras?
Dhanteras is traditionally a day for bringing precious metal into the home. Diamond jewellery set in hallmarked gold keeps that tradition, because you are bringing home gold, and the diamonds make it a piece to wear rather than store. Nivara pieces come in 14k or 18k BIS hallmarked gold.
What is a good Diwali gift for my wife?
A piece she will wear beyond the festival: diamond huggies or studs, a pendant, a bracelet, or a necklace for evenings. If you are unsure of her taste, bring her to a private viewing and let her choose. Every Nivara diamond is VVS E and IGI certified, at every budget.
What diamond gift can I buy for Diwali under ₹50,000?
Diamond huggies or a diamond pendant. Nivara's Amaya huggies start at around ₹33,000 and the Sol pendant, a ring of diamonds shaped like a small sun, at around ₹37,000, both in hallmarked gold with IGI certified diamonds.
Can a Diwali gift be exchanged later?
Yes. Nivara offers a lifetime exchange at 100% of the current gold and diamond value. Within 15 days of purchase the full invoice value counts; after that, making charges and taxes are deducted. There is also a lifetime buyback at 100% gold and 85% diamond value.
