What Is Diwali? The Festival of Lights
Diwali, also known as Deepavali, means 'row of lamps’. It is the most exciting and brightest celebration for Hindus around the world and in India. People light up diyas (lamps made from clay), create beautiful rangoli, set off crackers, exchange sweets and wear new outfits and jewellery.
Diwali is a celebration of the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil. We clean our homes and purify our hearts, inviting the Goddess Lakshmi (Goddess of wealth and prosperity) into our lives.

Why Diwali Is a Great Festival for Hindus
Diwali is not just one story – it is many beautiful stories that families across India have shared for generations.
-
Lord Rama comes home: In the North of India, Diwali is celebrated to mark when Lord Rama returned to Ayodhya along with Sita and Lakshmana after spending 14 years in exile. He defeated Ravana and the people of Ayodhya welcomed him back by lighting strings of lamps. We still do this today.
-
Lord Krishna defeats Narakasura: In parts of South India Diwali is celebrated as the day Lord Krishna defeated the demon Narakasura. That is why Choti Diwali is also known as Naraka Chaturdashi.
-
Goddess Lakshmi's blessings: The main night of Diwali is for Lakshmi Puja. I feel the glow of the diyas as families pray to Goddess Lakshmi and to Lord Ganesha for wealth, health and happiness, in the year.
-
A new beginning: For business families Diwali signals the beginning of a fresh financial year. New account books, called (chopda puja). Blessed with prayers, during Diwali.
-
Family and togetherness: Most of all Diwali brings people together. Families visit each exchange gifts and sweets and celebrate as one.
What Happens on Each of the 5 Days?
-
Dhanteras – The first day focuses on wealth and well-being. People pray to Goddess Lakshmi, Lord Kubera and Lord Dhanvantari. It is believed to bring fortune to buy gold, silver, diamonds or new utensils on this day.
-
Choti Diwali – Decorated and the first diyas are lit to chase away darkness and negativity.
-
Lakshmi Puja (Main Diwali) – The biggest night arrives. Everyone wears their clothes and jewellery. Lakshmi–Ganesh puja lights the whole house with diyas and celebrates with family.
-
Govardhan Puja – A day to thank Lord Krishna, who lifted the Govardhan hill to protect the people of Vrindavan. In Gujarat this is also the start of the New Year.
-
Bhai Dooj – A sweet day, for brothers and sisters. Sisters pray for their brothers and brothers give them gifts – often a piece of jewellery!
Why Buy Diamond Jewellery This Diwali?
Gold has always been the Diwali buy. However today more and more people are choosing diamond jewellery. Diamond jewellery has reasons, for its popularity:
-
Diamonds = light. Diwali is the festival of lights. Nothing shines like a diamond. It is the match.
-
It lasts forever. A natural diamond is a gift that can be passed down to the next generation.
-
Wear it after Diwali too. Lightweight diamond pieces are not just for one night. You can wear them to the office, to dinners and to weddings all year.
-
Great for gifting. Lightweight diamond pieces are not just for one night. Diamond pieces can be worn to the office to dinners and to weddings all year.
-
Comfortable and modern. Heavy jewellery can be hard to wear during pujas and family visits. Lightweight diamond jewellery gives you shine without the weight.
This is what we believe in at KESAV Diamond – lightweight, natural diamond jewellery that looks rich but feels light so you can enjoy every moment of the festival.
Best Diwali Special Diamond Jewellery Collections in India (2026)
Here are the top diamond jewellery picks for Diwali 2026 – for every style, every budget and every person in your family.
1. Diamond Necklace for Women – The Star of Lakshmi Puja
A diamond necklace for women, is the loved Diwali jewellery piece. On Lakshmi Puja night when you are wearing a silk saree or a festive lehenga a diamond necklace adds the right amount of shine.
Why it's perfect for Diwali:
-
Looks beautiful with sarees, lehengas, anarkalis and even western outfits
-
Lightweight designs are easy to wear for the whole evening
-
A timeless gift for your wife, mother or daughter
Styling tip: I would pair a diamond necklace for women, with small diamond studs. Let the diamond necklace be the hero of your look.
If you are searching for the diamond necklace womens collection for the festive season look for lightweight designs, with natural diamonds that you can also wear after Diwali.
2. Diamond Choker Necklace – Royal Look, Modern Touch
The Diamond Choker Necklace is one of the trends this festive season. This necklace sits close to the neck. Gives a royal elegant look. This look is perfect for parties and perfect, for family photos.
Why it's perfect for Diwali:
-
Looks amazing with deep-neck blouses, off-shoulder outfits and boat necks
-
Gives a "heavy" royal look while staying light to wear
-
Great for Diwali parties, card nights and festive dinners
Styling tip: Wear your Diamond Choker Necklace with your hair tied in a bun or a sleek ponytail so the choker gets all the attention.
3. Emerald Diamond Necklace – A Touch of Festive Colour
If you want something from plain white diamonds an emerald diamond necklace is a beautiful choice. The emerald diamond necklace shows the green of emerald together, with the sparkle of diamonds. This look is very festive and royal.
Why it's perfect for Diwali:
-
Green is a colour of growth, freshness and new beginnings – perfect for the new year
-
Looks stunning with red, maroon, gold, pink and ivory outfits
-
Feels traditional and modern at the same time
Styling tip: Pair an emerald diamond necklace with a golden saree, for a classic Diwali look. Keep earrings simple so the emerald shines.
4. Statement Rings for Women – Small Piece, Big Impact
Not everyone likes necklaces. Statement rings for women are a way to bring sparkle to your Diwali style. When you are lighting diyas doing aarti or offering sweets your hands are always, in the spotlight. That’s when a statement ring makes them truly shine.
Why it's perfect for Diwali:
-
One ring can lift a simple outfit to a festive one
-
Easy to wear every day after Diwali
-
A lovely and easy-to-choose gift for Bhai Dooj or Dhanteras
Styling tip: Choose cocktail‑style statement rings, for women that feature a cluster of diamonds or a floral design. Wear it on your index finger to get the best look.
5. Solitaire Ring for Men – Classy Diwali Gift for Him
Diwali jewellery is not for women. I think a solitaire ring for men is a timeless gift for your husband, father or brother. A single natural diamond in a strong simple setting looks smart with a kurta on Diwali and with wear, at the office.
Why it's perfect for Diwali:
-
A single diamond stands for strength, success and focus
-
Simple and masculine design that goes with everything
-
A meaningful Dhanteras or Bhai Dooj gift that he will wear for years
Styling tip: A solitaire ring for men in gold or yellow gold looks great, with a silk kurta. Keep the rest of the look, maybe just a watch.
