Thushi Necklaces

The thushi is one of Maharashtra's most recognisable pieces — a close-fitting choker of tightly packed beads that sits high on the neck and looks as good with a nauvari saree as it does with a plain kurta.

Kanakaa's thushi range runs from classic multi-strand chokers to lighter single-layer designs in gold-tone and antique finishes. A favourite for Gudi Padwa, Navratri, Diwali and weddings — and increasingly worn as an everyday statement piece.

Kanakaa is the online fashion jewellery brand of Chandukaka Jewels, a family jeweller in Ahilyanagar since 2014.
