Dhanteras 2026 falls on Friday, 6 November 2026, making October a useful time to shortlist festive jewellery and gifts before the Diwali season gets busier.
The easiest way to choose jewellery online is to combine style with measurable proportions. Use the product's own dimensions whenever they are listed, then use the guide below to understand common necklace and bangle sizes.
1. Necklace lengths: cm and inches
| Length | Approx. inches | Typical style |
|---|---|---|
| 35–40 cm | 13.8–15.7 in | Choker |
| 43–48 cm | 16.9–18.9 in | Princess / collarbone |
| 50–60 cm | 19.7–23.6 in | Matinee / upper chest |
| 70–90 cm | 27.6–35.4 in | Opera / Rani haar |
| 90 cm+ | 35.4 in+ | Lariat / rope styles |
These are general style ranges from the Couturier Design Size Guide. A product-specific chain or necklace length always takes priority.
2. Bangle sizing: diameter, circumference and inches
Bangles can be described by diameter in millimetres and hand circumference in centimetres. The current size guide lists:
| Indian size | Diameter | Hand circumference |
|---|---|---|
| 2/2 | 52 mm (2.05 in) | 16.3 cm (6.4 in) |
| 2/4 | 54 mm (2.13 in) | 17.0 cm (6.7 in) |
| 2/6 | 56 mm (2.20 in) | 17.6 cm (6.9 in) |
| 2/8 | 58 mm (2.28 in) | 18.2 cm (7.2 in) |
| 2/10 | 60 mm (2.36 in) | 18.8 cm (7.4 in) |
| 2/12 | 62 mm (2.44 in) | 19.5 cm (7.7 in) |
| 2/14 | 65 mm (2.56 in) | 20.4 cm (8.0 in) |
3. Earrings: choose proportion before size
Small studs can suit a detailed neckline or a minimal everyday look. Medium drops and jhumkas can balance a kurta or saree, while larger statement earrings can become the focal point of a simpler outfit. Because earring dimensions vary by design, check the individual product listing rather than assuming a standard measurement.
4. Match jewellery to the outfit
- Saree: choose jhumkas, Chandbalis or a necklace that complements the blouse neckline.
- Kurta or suit set: use earrings or a pendant as the main statement.
- Heavy neckline: let earrings do more of the work.
- Simple neckline: a necklace can become the focal point.
- Gift shopping: if you do not know the recipient's bangle or ring size, earrings can be easier choices.
5. Build a Dhanteras gift within a practical budget
Festive gifting does not always require a large set. A single pair of earrings, a pendant or a coordinated necklace-and-earring set can work as a compact gift. Couturier Design currently has festive jewellery across lower price points, including examples around ₹149, ₹199, ₹229, ₹249 and ₹320; prices and availability can change.
Shop Festive Jewellery and compare the product-specific details before ordering.
6. Check the measurements before buying
- For necklaces, confirm the stated length in cm or inches.
- For bangles, compare the stated diameter in mm and your hand circumference.
- For earrings, check any listed height, width or drop measurement.
- For rings, use the individual product's stated Indian size or measurement where available.
- For gift sets, confirm exactly what is included in the listing.
7. Dhanteras shopping in Bengaluru
Eligible Bengaluru orders can access 4-hour, same-day or next-day delivery through Couturier GO on qualifying products. Availability depends on product, stock, PIN code and order timing, so check delivery eligibility before placing an urgent festive order.
Final checklist
- Know the recipient's preferred jewellery style.
- Use cm, mm and inches consistently when comparing measurements.
- Prefer product-specific measurements over generic size assumptions.
- Check what the set includes before gifting.
- Review delivery eligibility if the gift is time-sensitive.
