The Vrushali Silver Guttapusalu Peacock Necklace
If you want to stun everyone with a bespoke piece of jewellery this is the design for you. This heritage necklace carries twin peacocks in its pendant as well as the necklace string. 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.
This guttapusalu necklace is a faithful reproduction of the traditional design of the necklace. Handcrafted in Sterling Silver (92.5%) with techniques used to craft temple jewellery for centuries, this necklace is a heirloom piece.

The design is authentic and the craftsmanship is excellent. The peacocks are well-proportioned and the gutta fringe gives it a traditional charm. A little heavy for daily wear, but ideal for ceremonies or events.
