Navratri Jewellery in Calgary 2026 — Celebrate in Gold at VJ Jewellers

Navratri is one of the most celebrated festivals in South Asian culture — nine nights of colour, music, dance, and devotion. For Calgary's Gujarati, Punjabi, and pan-Indian communities, it is also one of the most important times of year to wear gold jewellery. At VJ Jewellers in Cityscape NE Calgary, we carry a full range of Navratri jewellery including 22K gold bangles, necklace sets, kadas, maang tikka, jhumkas, and diamond pieces to make your festival season truly special.

When is Navratri 2026?

Navratri 2026 falls from September 22 to October 1, 2026. Diwali follows on October 20, 2026. This means the festival shopping season runs from mid-September through late October — one of the busiest and most important jewellery buying periods of the year for Calgary's South Asian community. We recommend shopping early to ensure you get the exact pieces you want before stock runs low.

What jewellery to wear for Navratri

Navratri jewellery in the South Asian tradition is typically bold, colourful, and celebratory. The most popular pieces worn during Navratri are:

• Gold bangles — sets of gold bangles in 22K gold are the most traditional Navratri jewellery choice. Meenakari bangles with colourful enamel work in red, green, and blue are particularly popular for Garba and Dandiya nights. At VJ Jewellers we carry meenakari, stone-set, plain gold, and filigree bangles in a full range of weights and sizes.
• Necklace sets — from lightweight gold chains with pendants for everyday Navratri celebrations to heavier kundan and polki sets for the main nights. Our Navratri necklace collection includes traditional Gujarati designs, South Indian temple-inspired sets, and contemporary styles. Check out our bridal sets for larger set choices.
• Maang tikka — the forehead ornament is a staple of Navratri dress for women across all South Asian communities. We carry gold maang tikka in plain 22K, stone-set, and kundan styles to match your chaniya choli or lehenga.
• Jhumkas and earrings — large gold jhumkas are the signature earring of Navratri. We carry a wide range from small lightweight jhumkas for everyday wear to large statement jhumkas for the main Garba nights.
• Kadas — Punjabi-style gold kadas are increasingly popular for Navratri as well. Heavy plain 22K kadas worn alongside meenakari bangles make a powerful combination.

What colours to match for Navratri 2026

Each night of Navratri 2026 has a traditional colour. When choosing jewellery, consider pieces that complement your outfit colour. Gold jewellery works beautifully with every Navratri colour — from royal yellow and orange to green, red, royal blue, and white. Diamond jewellery adds brilliance to any colour combination. Our staff can help you choose pieces that match your specific outfits for each night.

Navratri jewellery for children

Many Calgary South Asian families also purchase small gold pieces for daughters during Navratri — lightweight gold bangles, small jhumkas, or a simple gold chain are popular gifts. We carry children's gold bangles and earrings in smaller sizes at VJ Jewellers.

Diwali jewellery is next

If you are shopping for Navratri, Diwali is just three weeks away on October 20, 2026. Many of our customers shop for both occasions in one visit — choosing Navratri pieces for the festival and gold coins, gifting sets, and heavier traditional jewellery at the same time. Ask our staff about current Diwali arrivals when you visit.
