Dhanteras Special: Expert Suggests Silver Jewellery Pieces Which You Can Buy

The festive season is here and we can’t wait to mark the biggest Hindu festival, Diwali that is just around the corner. It kick starts with Dhanteras which is falling on Friday, 13 November. It is considered an auspicious day to make new purchases, especially gold or silver items and new utensils. The word Dhanteras is made from two words, wherein 'Dhan' means wealth and 'Teras' means thirteenth, that marks the thirteenth day of the dark fortnight of Kartik and the beginning of Diwali.

While it is a day to bring home new items, we know how tricky it can get to decide what do you want to purchase and is not worth putting your money into. Various factors go into making the final decision, such as your budget, latest fashion or market trends.
