The necklace is beautifully crafted and captures the traditional look of the Kodava culture. The silver is well polished and the pendant feels lightweight. The handwoven thread adds a unique touch. I received it as a gift and the recipient loved it.

It arrived promptly and matches the description. The design is authentic and the craftsmanship is evident. The only minor point is that the thread is a bit thin, but it’s still a lovely piece for everyday wear.

I was impressed by the detail in the design, especially the goddess Lakshmi and the serpent motif. The silver has a nice oxidised finish. It’s a meaningful piece for someone who appreciates cultural jewelry.
