The Shankhu, Chakra Silver Guttapusalu Necklace (Medium)
This exquisite pearl guttapusalu carries Shankhu, Chakra and Nama shaped pendants which are Vaishnavite motifs. Decorated with red/green kempu stones, premium white zircon and natural pearl, this is a stunning design.
The Gutta Pusalu is a classic design from Andhra Pradesh and is named so because the necklace is fringed with bunches of small pearls very similar to “a shoal of small fish” (gutta). Pusalu means “beads” and this design originated in areas close to the ancient pearl fisheries along the Coromandel coast of India.

The necklace is beautifully crafted with intricate details. The combination of natural pearl and zircon gives it a rich, elegant look. It feels substantial and the design is authentic to traditional Andhra craftsmanship. I received it as a gift and it was well received.

A stunning piece that reflects the cultural heritage of South India. The pendants are well proportioned and the stones add a vibrant touch. The silver quality is excellent and it feels durable. I’m happy with the craftsmanship and design.

The necklace is very well made and the details are impressive. The natural pearl is visible and adds a soft glow. It’s a bit heavy for daily wear, but that’s expected for a traditional design. Would recommend to someone interested in cultural jewellery.
