The Maya Silver Guttapusalu Necklace
This gorgeous piece of heritage jewellery will put a glow on your face. 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 with techniques used to craft temple jewellery for centuries, this necklace is a heirloom piece.
