The Kaivalya Silver Peacock Guttapusalu Necklace
This is a beautiful guttapusalu with peacock motif pendants, studded with red/green kempu stone and white zircon. The necklace is decorated with natural pearl.
The guttapusalu 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 peacock design is elegant and detailed. The natural pearls add a soft, traditional touch. It feels heavy and luxurious, just like traditional temple jewellery. I received it as a gift and the recipient loved it.

Beautiful craftsmanship. The red and green kempu stones catch the light well. The pearl fringes are delicate and authentic. It’s a perfect blend of heritage and modern elegance.

Very well made with a classic look. The peacock motif is clear and the stones are well set. The only minor note is that the tassel is a bit short, but it’s still a lovely piece.

The necklace is stunning and has a rich cultural appeal. It fits well with traditional outfits. The only thing is the silver may tarnish slightly over time, but it’s expected with handmade silver.
