If you want to stun everyone with a bespoke piece of jewellery this is the design for you. This heritage necklace carries pendants with kempu stones and 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.

The craftsmanship is excellent and the design is very unique. The natural pearls add a soft glow. It’s a bit heavier than expected, but that adds to its presence. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a meaningful heirloom piece.
