The Aarushi Silver Guttapusalu Necklace Set Of 2
Wear a gorgeous design on your neck with this Pearl and kemp stone guttapusalu necklace. 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. Wearing two necklaces of the same design, one shorter and one longer, is a traditional practice. This set includes one long and one short guttapusalu necklace.
Handcrafted in Sterling Silver (92.5%) using techniques passed down for centuries, this necklace is designed to be worn as a heirloom piece, suitable for special occasions and daily wear.

The necklace set arrived beautifully packaged. The long and short pieces match perfectly, and the pearl detail is very authentic. I wore it to my wedding and received compliments. It feels solid and the craftsmanship is evident. Will pass it down to my daughter.

I love the traditional look of the guttapusalu. The silver is shiny and the pearls are well set. The set is balanced and elegant. A little heavy for everyday wear, but perfect for events.

Received the necklace set exactly as described. The design is exactly what I expected from Andhra Pradesh tradition. The quality of the silver is excellent and the beads are delicate but secure. I plan to gift this to my mother for her birthday.
Adam Young –
The necklace is a beautiful piece. The two pieces together create a balanced look. I noticed a slight tarnish after a few weeks, but it’s normal for silver. Still, it’s a lovely addition to my jewelry collection.
