When to Order Jewelry for Christmas, Hanukkah and Valentine's Day 2026

November 5, 2026

• 5 min read

To get one of our pieces in time for Christmas Eve 2026, order by Tuesday 24 November. For the eighth night of Hanukkah, order by Wednesday 11 November. For Valentine's Day 2027, order by Wednesday 13 January. These dates use the slowest end of our stated times. Your order may well arrive sooner, but these are the dates we can stand behind.

Here's where the dates come from, and what to do if you've already missed one.

Why our jewelry takes a few weeks

Two steps happen after you order:

Step	Time
Finishing your piece	Up to 7 business days
Delivery with tracking	Usually 7 to 14 business days after it ships
Worst case, in total	About 21 business days

Business days are Monday to Friday, without public holidays. Twenty-one business days is a little over four calendar weeks, and longer if a holiday such as Thanksgiving falls in the middle.

Shipping is free worldwide with tracking. The finishing step happens before any piece ships, so ordering early is the only reliable way to beat a date.

Order-by dates for the 2026–27 holidays

Occasion	Date	Safe order-by date	If you order later
Hanukkah, first night	Evening of Fri 4 Dec 2026	Already passed (4 Nov)	Up to about Fri 13 Nov, arrival before the first night is likely but not certain
Hanukkah, eighth night	Evening of Fri 11 Dec 2026	Wed 11 Nov 2026	Up to about Fri 20 Nov, arrival before the eighth night is likely but not certain
Christmas Eve	Thu 24 Dec 2026	Tue 24 Nov 2026	Up to about Fri 4 Dec, arrival in time is likely but not certain
New Year's Eve	Thu 31 Dec 2026	Tue 1 Dec 2026	Up to about Thu 10 Dec, arrival in time is likely but not certain
Valentine's Day	Sun 14 Feb 2027 (aim for Fri 12 Feb)	Wed 13 Jan 2027	Up to about Mon 25 Jan, arrival in time is likely but not certain

How the dates are worked out: the "safe" date allows the full 21 business days, skipping US Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, New Year's Day and Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The "if you order later" dates assume around 14 business days in total, which is common but not guaranteed. Local holidays and customs checks in your country can add time.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday: watch the calendar

Black Friday is 27 November 2026 and Cyber Monday is 30 November, and both are after our safe date for Christmas.

An order on Black Friday can take until about 29 December in the worst case.
An order on Cyber Monday can take until about 30 December in the worst case.

An order placed that weekend can still arrive before Christmas if it lands at the faster end of our range, but if you're waiting for a sale weekend to buy a Christmas gift, you're taking a chance. If the date matters more than the price, order before Thanksgiving.

Missed the date? What still works

Give it in two parts. Wrap a printed photo of the piece with a short note, and give the jewelry when it arrives. For a ring, this also lets her confirm her size before you order. Rings can't be returned or exchanged for the wrong size, so this can be the smarter way to do it.
Pick the next occasion. A piece that misses Christmas makes a lovely New Year's or Valentine's gift.
Hanukkah has eight nights. If the gift won't make the first night, it may still make a later one. See our Hanukkah jewelry gift ideas.

Choose a gift that won't need exchanging

Because time is short in December, choose something that doesn't depend on a size:

Necklaces need no sizing. The Solitaire Icon Necklace ($149.99 to $199.99) and the Lucky Love Clover Necklace ($133.99) are easy choices.
Adjustable pieces. The Radiant Elegance Necklace & Bracelet ($399.99) has an adjustable chain and an adjustable bracelet.
Earrings need no sizing, but for hygiene reasons they can't be returned. Choose a classic style such as the Radiance Stud Earrings (from $69.99).

Prices are in US dollars as of 5 November 2026. For more ideas at each price, see moissanite gifts by budget.

Tracking your order

You'll get tracking once your piece ships, so you can follow it to the door. Our return policy explains what to do if something arrives damaged, and the 14-day return window for eligible, unworn items.

Frequently asked questions

When should I order jewelry to arrive before Christmas 2026?+

To be safe with our pieces, order by Tuesday 24 November 2026. Our pieces take up to 7 business days to finish and delivery usually takes 7 to 14 business days, so in the worst case an order takes about 21 business days to arrive. Orders can arrive sooner, but after that date we can't promise Christmas delivery.

If I order on Black Friday, will it arrive by Christmas?+

Possibly, but it isn't guaranteed. An order placed on Black Friday, 27 November, could take until about 29 December in the worst case. If it arrives at the faster end of our range it will be there well before Christmas. If the date matters, order before Thanksgiving.

Can I still order for the first night of Hanukkah?+

Hanukkah 2026 begins on the evening of Friday 4 December. Our worst-case date for that passed on 4 November, so an order placed now will probably arrive in time but may arrive during Hanukkah instead. To be safe for the eighth candle on 11 December, order by Wednesday 11 November.

When should I order for Valentine's Day 2027?+

Valentine's Day 2027 is a Sunday. To have it by Friday 12 February, order by Wednesday 13 January 2027.
