Kolhapuri saaj
Necklace named after Kolhapur, India
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kolhapuri saaj is a type of necklace named after Kolhapur, a city in Maharashtra, India.[1]
Traditionally the necklace is made of 21 leaves or pendants but contemporary wearers prefer 10 to 12.[1] Customarily the necklace is handmade, taking a week to make. A shortage of skilled manpower and its high cost have prompted the attempt to mechanise its production.[2]
