Durga Puja Jewellery 2026: 20 Silver Picks for Every Pujo Look, Shashthi to Dashami
Durga Puja 2026 opens with Mahalaya on Saturday 10 October and builds through Shashthi, Saptami and Ashtami to Dashami and the sindoor khela that closes it. Five days, five sarees, and a different reason to reach for silver each morning. This guide lists twenty Durga Puja jewellery picks from Kicky & Perky, all in 925 sterling silver, grouped by type so you can build a Pujo box in one sitting, followed by a day-by-day saree look from Shashthi to Dashami. Everything here is light enough for pandal hopping and traditional enough for anjali.
Why Silver Jewellery for Durga Puja
Silver is the metal of the puja room. It is considered pure in Hindu ritual, it is what the household deity is dressed in, and it is what most families already own in coins and utensils. On the body it does three things gold cannot: it sits quietly against the red-and-white garad saree of Ashtami instead of competing with it, it is light enough for a day that starts with anjali and ends with dhunuchi naach, and it comes in an oxidised finish that photographs beautifully against the lights of a pandal. Silver jewellery for Durga Puja is also the pragmatic choice; a full set costs a fraction of gold, which matters when you are dressing for five consecutive days.

Durga Puja Saree Look, Shashthi to Dashami
The saree changes every day of Pujo, and the jewellery should change with it. Here is the day-by-day Durga Puja look using the picks above.
Mahalaya and Shashthi: Cotton and Taant
Keep it soft and light on the opening days. A cotton or taant saree wants the Radiant Mughal Pearl Earrings and the Durga Filigree Ruby Pendant, gentle rather than grand.
Saptami: The Pandal-Hopping Day
A day on your feet calls for pieces that move with you: the Starry Night Chandbali Earrings, the Graceful Blossom Necklace, and a Silver Wings Duet Anklet.
Ashtami: Red and White
The garad saree is the moment silver truly earns its place. Pair the Durga Red Jade Green Onyx Earrings, the Durga Filigree Necklace Set, a Durga Filigree Bangle beside the shakha-pola, and a delicate nose pin. Keep gold-plated pieces away from the red-white; the contrast is the point.
Navami: The Silk Night
Silk asks for a little shine. The Celestial Shine Gold Drop Earrings, the Floral Blue Talfe Polki Pendant and a Moissanite Polki Ring dress a Navami evening beautifully.
Dashami: Sindoor Khela and Bijoya
The last day is red, white and farewell. An oxidised Metal Drop Anklet and a Clover Mangalsutra Pendant suit the sindoor khela, and a 999 silver coin makes the Bijoya gift.
Bengali Jewellery Traditions and Where Silver Fits
Traditional Bengali jewellery for a married woman during Pujo is specific: the shakha (conch) and pola (red coral) bangles, the loha (iron bangle, often gold-capped), sometimes a chur or bala, and for the head a tikli or the elaborate matha patti of a bridal look. Silver does not replace any of these. It sits beside them. An oxidised silver bangle worn next to the shakha-pola, a silver nose pin with the red-white saree, a Navratna necklace set where the older generation would have worn a gold sitahaar: the effect is traditional at first glance and current on a second look. For unmarried women and for anyone outside Bengal joining a pandal, silver carries the same visual language without the ritual pieces.
Why Kicky & Perky Silver for Pujo
• Every piece is 925 sterling silver, hallmarked, with 24K gold or rhodium plating over genuine silver where plating is used.
• Aadhira, the Durga-motif collection, was designed for exactly these nine days; the other picks come from Chandbali, Wedding Bliss, Mangalayam and Lumina.
• Light construction, wood inlay and hollow filigree, for full days of pandal hopping.
• Six-month warranty, lifetime plating maintenance and easy returns, so a Pujo purchase lasts past Pujo.

Frequently Asked Questions
What jewellery is worn during Durga Puja?
Traditionally, married Bengali women wear shakha-pola bangles, a loha and gold or silver ornaments with the red-bordered white saree on Ashtami and Dashami. Modern Pujo dressing adds silver chandbalis, filigree necklace sets, kadas, anklets and a nose pin, in oxidised or polished 925 silver.
Is silver jewellery appropriate for Durga Puja?
Yes. Silver is considered pure and auspicious in Hindu tradition and is worn for puja rituals across India. It also suits the white, red and jewel-tone sarees of Durga Puja better than yellow gold does, and it is light enough for a full day of pandal hopping.
What jewellery goes with a red and white saree on Ashtami?
Keep it to silver with red accents: a filigree necklace set with red stones, chandbali or jhumka earrings, a stack of silver bangles and a nose pin. Avoid gold-plated pieces with a red-white saree, since the contrast is the point of the outfit.
When is Durga Puja 2026?
Durga Puja 2026 begins with Maha Shashthi on 16 or 17 October (calendars differ), with Maha Ashtami on 18 or 19 October and Vijaya Dashami on 20 October. Check your local panjika for the exact tithi timings.
What is a good Durga Puja gift?
A hallmarked 999 silver coin with Lakshmi and Ganesh is the classic Pujo gift. For jewellery, a silver nose pin, a pair of studs or a mangalsutra pendant are the pieces most likely to be worn every day after the festival.
Can I wear the same silver jewellery for Navratri and Durga Puja?
Yes. The two festivals run on the same nine days. Oxidised silver pieces from the Aadhira collection work for Garba nights and for pandal visits alike; only the styling changes, with brighter, heavier sets for Ashtami and lighter pieces for Dandiya.
