The Uddalaka Silver Guttapusalu Necklace (Short)
This is a beautiful guttapusalu studded with a twin peacock motif on its pendant, decorated with red/green kempu stone and premium white zircon. 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.
Note: Tassel provided at the end for adornment.

The necklace is well-made and the colors of the stones complement each other nicely. The only minor point is that the tassel is a bit short, but it still looks great. I would recommend it to anyone interested in traditional Indian jewellery.
