The Ekaya Silver Guttapusalu Necklace (Red)
Feel like royalty when you dress up in this gorgeous piece of heritage jewellery. 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 has beautiful pendants that add extra charm. Handcrafted in Sterling Silver with techniques used to craft temple jewellery for centuries, this necklace is a heirloom piece.
