Teej Ready: 925 Silver Jewellery for the Season of Swings and Sindhara
Green bangles, monsoon skies, and the kind of silver that's meant to be worn on a swing.
Teej arrives with the first real relief of the monsoon — the smell of wet earth, henna drying on palms, and courtyards strung with jhulas for the evening songs. It's a festival built around women coming together, and the jewellery worn on the day carries as much meaning as the vrat itself. Green bangles for prosperity, a mangalsutra worn with extra care, and nazariya for protection — Teej dressing is symbolic first, decorative second.
Here's how to put together a Teej look in 925 sterling silver that honours the tradition without weighing you down for a full day of puja, swinging, and singing.
The Mangalsutra Takes Centre Stage
Of all the days in the year to wear your mangalsutra with intention, Hariyali Teej and Hartalika Teej sit right at the top. It's the piece married women reach for first when getting dressed for the vrat, and a well-crafted one becomes part of the ritual itself.
A softer, more contemporary take on the traditional mangalsutra — delicate enough for daytime puja, with just enough sparkle for the evening celebrations after.

Nazariya: Silver Protection for the Ones You Pray For
Teej is, at its heart, a festival of prayer — for a husband's long life, for a good marriage, for the wellbeing of the family. Nazariya, worn to ward off the evil eye, fits naturally into that spirit. It's traditional, it's protective, and it layers beautifully with everything else you're wearing that day.
An adjustable slider design in 92.5 hallmarked silver, easy to wear through a full day of rituals and dancing without needing to worry about the fit.

Anklets for the Jhula and the Dance
No Teej evening is complete without the swings and the folk songs that go with them — and an anklet that catches the light (and makes a little sound with every step) belongs right there with you.
A floral pattern that nods to the season's greenery, light enough to wear from the morning puja straight through to the evening jhula songs.

For the Vrat: Silver Pooja Articles
Teej vrat rituals often call for small silver articles on the puja thali — a detail many families still hold onto season after season.
A simple, traditional addition to the Teej puja thali, in pure silver.

The Sindhara tradition — where mothers send gifts of clothes, sweets, and jewellery to their married daughters ahead of Teej — is one of the most heartfelt parts of the festival. If you're putting together a Sindhara gift this year, silver is a piece that will be worn long after the festival ends.
- For a daughter or daughter-in-law: a nazariya or a fine silver chain
- For a sister: a pair of anklets to match her Teej outfit
- To add to the puja thali: a small silver pooja article
