Gold kolhapuri saaj is a traditional Maharashtrian bridal necklace – a flat, multi-strand gold chain necklace with a distinctive geometric or temple-motif pendant. It originates from Kolhapur, Maharashtra, and is considered an essential part of the Marathi Hindu wedding jewellery set. A standard kolhapuri saaj weighs 18g–35g.
At resale, the kolhapuri craft tradition adds no premium – only gold weight and purity determine cash value.
