Namely, since this area was poor, the young men could not buy a gold necklace, so on the feast of St. Michael in Trilj they would betroth a loved one by giving her a grotula, which looks very reminiscent of a gold Trilj necklace. which represents the most beautiful gift possible. Traditionally, a young man gave it to a girl on the feast of St. Michael as a symbol of affection or even as a symbol of marriage offer. Despite the original symbolism, all generations are happy to buy "grotulja" today.
