The Dharaa Antique Silver Kasumala Coin Necklace/Waistbelt (Oxidised)
An iconic design, this traditional ‘Kasu malai’ is a rare masterpiece of jewellery that will be prized and passed on for generations. 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’ while on the other side we can see a beautiful parrot motif. The skill and craftsmanship exhibited in this piece are truly amazing.
This is a long necklace and can be used as a waist-belt also.
Crafted using techniques used in South Indian antique jewellery in Sterling Silver (92.5), the necklace has been oxidised to give it a dull antique look. This piece is also available in the antique gold-finish.
