Teej Jewellery Gifts and Styling

Teej is observed by many women in Bihar and neighbouring regions, usually in the monsoon months. Customs and dates vary by community, and the panchang decides the exact day. For many families it is an occasion for new clothes, green bangles and jewellery, and a time when husbands, brothers and parents may give gifts.

What the day asks of jewellery

• Comfort through a long day, especially for those who fast.

From a husband

A thoughtful gift from a husband can mark the day. See jewellery gifts for wife she will wear and Karwa Chauth jewellery gift ideas for related ideas.

From a brother or parents

Brothers and parents may give gifts to a sister or daughter. See jewellery gifts for sister and jewellery gifts for mother.

Styling with green and red

• Green saree: yellow gold and diamonds look warm. Keep jewellery simple if the saree is embroidered.
• Red outfit: see jewellery for a red lehenga or saree.
• Mixed colours: let the earrings or the necklace lead, and keep the rest quiet.

For styling with sarees, see jewellery with saree, kurta and western wear.

Bangles

Green glass bangles are a feature of Teej in many homes. A gold or diamond bangle can sit alongside them, but the metal can scratch against glass, so avoid stacking delicate pieces with glass bangles for long periods. Choose pieces you can wear without worry.

Safety and comfort

Festival gatherings are crowded. Keep valuable pieces secure and choose secure backs and clasps. See keeping jewellery safe at home and in lockers.

Budget

Choose what suits your family. A small, thoughtful gift is welcome. See thoughtful jewellery gifts on a modest budget.

Presentation

Give the gift with a note, and in a quiet moment. See how to present a jewellery gift.
