Kolhapuri saaj is a 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]
