A Tushi necklace is a traditional and significant piece of Maharashtrian jewelry, particularly associated with the Kolhapur region of India. Here's a detailed description :  

Key Characteristics :  

Woven Gold Beads : The most defining feature of a Tushi is its construction from numerous small gold beads that are tightly woven together. Traditionally, these gold balls are believed to be filled with wax to give them shape and sturdiness while keeping the necklace relatively lightweight.

Choker Style : Tushi necklaces are typically designed to be worn close to the neck, in a choker style.

Adjustable Thread (Dori) : They often feature adjustable soft thread (dori) at the back, which allows for a comfortable and secure fit around the neck. This thread can be tied to achieve the desired length. Intricate Designs: The close weaving of the gold beads can create various intricate patterns and textures across the necklace.

Optional Embellishments : While the classic Tushi focuses on the woven gold beads, some contemporary or regional variations might include small pendants, charms, or embedded gemstones.

Materials :  

Gold : Traditionally, Tushi necklaces are crafted from high-carat gold, often 22 carats, giving them a rich, yellow hue. However, modern interpretations might use different purities of gold or even gold-plated materials.
