All are structured together as a thick choker necklace. Gold beads are woven together intricately to form layers with a mesh of strings, the necklace is known for its lightweight feel.
The Timeless Classic –Kasumala
Kasulaperu is an indigenous style of jewellery. Historians trace it back to the Andhra Ikshvaku dynasty of Bhattiprolu (Pratipalpura). The Nishka gold coin necklace which has been traced back to as far back as the Vedic period had become popular in Andhra. Kasulaperu is thus seen as a descendant. Versions of it can be seen even today in sculptures from Amravati. The name Kasulaperu is itself traced to the Sanskrit word Karsapana, which was the ancient Indian currency and name for coin. It is a Malayalam word where Kasu means coins and Mala means neck chain/necklace. The mala is made using gold coins attached to each other in such a way that they overlap each other, a prominent feature in most of the designs.
The Royal Charm –Guttapusalu
The rich heritage of the Guttapusalu finds its origins in the fishing coastal regions of Andhra Pradesh. The design of the necklace is created with strings of beads piled over each other as fringes, which replicate the look of a shoal of a small fish. This is further embellished with patterns to adorn the base area of the necklace. It is a necklace embellished with rubies sapphires emeralds and diamonds in the traditional Kundan art which sparkles like heavenly bodies interspersed with spellbinding precious pearls in bunches clusters and strings. Hyderabad being the pearl hub, gutta pusalu became a popular neckpiece in the Telangana region as well.
