If you want to stun everyone with a bespoke piece of jewellery this is the design for you. This heritage necklace carries the peacock and paisley or mango motif in its various pendants. 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 is a faithful reproduction of the traditional design of the necklace. Handcrafted in Sterling Silver (92.5%) with techniques used to craft temple jewellery for centuries, this necklace is a heirloom piece.

It matches well with my saree and adds a cultural touch. The silver is of good quality and the oxidised finish is consistent. A bit heavy for daily wear, but great for special occasions.
