A lovely piece that captures the essence of South Indian heritage. The ribbed beads are unique and the pendant is well-proportioned. It fits well with my traditional saree. Slight tarnish after a few weeks, but easy to clean with a soft cloth.

The necklace is elegant and traditional. I appreciate the handcrafted nature and the cultural significance. The only minor issue is that the tassel is a bit short for longer necks, but it’s still a great addition to any outfit.
