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]
