The Marala Silver Guttapusalu Necklace (Oxidised/Red)
Feel like royalty when you dress up in this gorgeous piece of heritage jewellery. 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.
This guttapusalu necklace has peacock motif pendants that add extra charm. Handcrafted in Sterling Silver with techniques used to craft temple jewellery for centuries, this necklace is a heirloom piece.

The necklace arrived in perfect condition and matches the description well. The silver is of good quality and the peacock pendants are well made. I only wish the chain option was available earlier in the process. Still, it’s a beautiful piece and I’m happy with my purchase.
