The Chandrodaya Silver Guttapusalu Necklace
This is a beautiful guttapusalu studded with red/green kempu stone and white zircon. The guttapusalu is decorated with natural pearl.
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.
Handcrafted in sterling silver (92.5%) with techniques used to craft temple jewellery for centuries, this necklace is a heirloom piece. This necklace is available in gold-finish on request.

A genuine heirloom piece with a rich cultural background. The red and green kempu stones add a vibrant touch. The pearl fringes are delicate and the tassel helps adjust the length. Slightly heavier than expected, but that adds to the traditional feel.
