The Lipika Silver Navratna Guttapusalu Necklace
This is a beautiful guttapusalu studded with navratna stones. The necklace is decorated with natural pearls.
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%) using traditional techniques passed down through generations, this necklace is designed as a heirloom piece for family传.

The necklace is beautifully crafted with intricate detailing. The natural pearls add a soft elegance, and the navratna stones give it a traditional charm. It feels heavy and solid, which is a good sign of quality. I received it as a gift and the recipient loved it.

A stunning piece that reflects Indian heritage. The craftsmanship is evident in every detail. The pearls are genuine and the silver is shiny without tarnishing after a few weeks. Slight variation in pearl size is expected and it adds to the vintage look.
