More information

The Tushi (or Thushi) necklace originated in 17th-century Maharashtra, worn by elite women during the Maratha empire, and gets its name from the Marathi word for "pendant" or "small gold beads". Known for its intricate design of closely placed, wax-filled gold balls, the necklace is both lightweight and historically significant. It remains a popular traditional piece for weddings and festivals in the region and has become famous across India due to its affordability and distinct appearance.
