The Loukya Silver Coin Necklace Set (Black/Oxidised)
An iconic design, this light-weight traditional Kasu malai necklace is crafted by weaving silver coins into black thread. This is a reversible necklace which has a different design on both sides. On one side the coins carry the image of goddess Laxmi (seated on a lotus) and display a single row of kempu stones; on the other side we can see a beautiful parrot motif. The skill and craftsmanship exhibited in this piece are truly amazing.
Crafted using techniques used in South Indian antique jewellery in Sterling Silver (92.5), the necklace has been oxidised. This piece is also available in the antique gold finish.
The set includes a pair of matching ear-studs.
