3. Kolhapuri Saaj
It is another uniquely designed piece of jewelry mostly worn by women in the Kolhapur region of Maharashtra. Its design is not the same as the ordinary necklace as it is made of 21 gold leaves where ten leaves are considered the different forms of Lord Vishnu in the Hindu culture. This necklace set is given by the groom’s family to the bride on her special day and looks very beautiful when worn with matching attire.

Maharashtrian gold mangalsutra has its beauty which makes it unique from the design of the mangalsutras of various other religions. This sacred piece of jewelry is the most essential one for every bride’s jewelry and it is mostly a gift from the groom’s family. The gold necklace has strings made of gold and black bead with a uniquely designed pendant which is made with the combination of two bowl-shaped lockets. The lockets are hollow from the back side and plane or designed from the front side. These lockets are the symbol of shiva and shakti and symbolize an endless bond between the bride and the groom. It is believed that the black beads are compulsory in the mangalsutra as it protects the bride and groom from the evil eye.
