The Pushpalakshmi Silver Guttapusalu Necklace
If you want to stun everyone with a bespoke piece of jewellery this is the design for you. This heritage necklace carries the image of goddess Lakshmi in its various pendants. 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 also available in oxidised finish.

I love the cultural significance of the design. The oxidised finish gives it a unique, vintage feel. It’s slightly heavier than expected, but that adds to its presence.
