The Maya Silver Guttapusalu Necklace (Red & White / Medium)
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.
Note: Tassel provided at the end for adjusting the length. Gold dipped silver links/chain can be provided at an extra cost.

The necklace is elegant and very well made. The red and white color scheme stands out and matches well with both casual and formal wear. I appreciate the cultural significance behind the design and how it reflects Andhra Pradesh’s heritage. The only minor note is that the tassel could be a bit longer for some necklines.
