The Prasna Silver Peacock Guttapusalu Necklace
This is a beautiful guttapusalu with three peacock motif pendants, studded with red/green kempu stone and white zircon. The gutta pusalu 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. This necklace is available in gold-finish on request.

The necklace is elegant and well-crafted. The peacock pendants are detailed and the stones are vibrant. Slight variation in pearl size is normal for natural materials, but it adds to the authenticity.
