Collection: Gold Thushi

Thushi is a traditional Maharashtrian necklace made of multiple strands of intricately woven small beads made of pure gold. It is a sign of prosperity and fertility, as the beads represent sorghum or jowar crops that the state grows in abundance. The name itself means “small gold beads” in Marathi. The necklace sits close to the neck, above the collarbone, and is therefore also identified as a choker-style necklace. We, at PNG Jewellers, have a wide variety of thushi necklaces, from traditional gold thushi, affordable gold thushi, to designer gold thushi. Explore our exquisite collection of Gold Thushi now!

FAQs about Gold Thushi

What are Thushi necklaces?

Thushi necklaces are traditional choker-style Maharashtrian necklaces. They are crafted with small 22 carat gold beads that are closely knit to form a mesh-like design. Some varieties of these necklaces also feature pendants and traditional motifs; however, they are also available in contemporary designs that suit the current or modern outfit preferences. Nonetheless, they are often chosen in their classic designs as they complement traditional sarees the most and are a lightweight jewellery option that has a deep cultural meaning.

What does Thushi mean?

The name “Thushi”, in the Marathi language, means “small beads.” While the beads represent jowar crops, the name comes from its unique clustered beadwork.

Is Thushi real gold?

Yes. Traditional and authentic Thushi necklaces are made from 22 carat real gold beads. We have them in a wide price range suitable for those on a budget, too. These designs include gemstones and colored beads that elevate their charm. Explore our entire collection to know more.

How to wear Thushi?

Thushi necklaces sit snugly around the neck, close to the collarbone. They are therefore also recognized as choker necklaces. They often come with an adjustable string, which makes them convenient and comfortable to wear. Thushis look best with traditional Maharashtrian sarees; however, they also complement lehengas and salwar suits. Go for colors and patterns that complement your outfits, and thushi necklaces will always be a part of your festive wardrobe.

Are Thushi necklaces only made in gold?

While traditional Thushi necklaces are made in 22-carat gold, they are also available in silver or gold-plated designs. We accept orders of customized and personalized jewellery. Visit your nearest PNG Jewellers store for more information and guidance to place your thushi necklace order.

How do I care for my Thushi necklace?

Since the Thushi necklace is made of small beads tightly woven to create a mesh-like pattern, maintaining it might seem difficult, but it is not. Clean your Thushi necklace regularly in a solution made of a mild dishwashing liquid and lukewarm water. Soak it in the solution for 10-12 minutes and clean between the beads with a soft brush. Then, rinse it, wipe it dry with a soft cloth, and let it air. It’s extremely important to air the necklace out before storing it. Store it in a fabric-lined jewellery box and place it in clean and dry place, away from moisture. Also, get the necklace checked and cleaned professionally to preserve its shine and fix any damage.
