I’ve worn this necklace for several months and it holds up well. The silver is tarnish-resistant after the gold dip. The pendant is detailed and the bead chain is delicate yet sturdy. A true representation of Coorg heritage.

The craftsmanship is impressive and the design is very traditional. The only minor note is that the pendant is slightly heavy, but that’s expected with the silver and gold finish. It looks stunning on my wedding outfit.

The necklace is a beautiful piece that reflects the cultural heritage of Coorg. The kempu stones are well set and the pendant is balanced. A little on the heavier side, but it’s worth it for the design and craftsmanship.
