Antique Silver Navratna-Inspired Floral Guttapusalu Choker
Embody traditional elegance with this magnificent handcrafted temple-style choker necklace. Artfully cast in genuine sterling silver with a deep oxidized antique finish, this fine jewelry piece showcases a woven silver rope mesh collar decorated with vibrant floral clusters. Adorned with rich ruby-pink and emerald-green cabochons in a Navratna-inspired palette, it is finished with the classic South Indian Guttapusalu fringe—a dense, playful cascade of pristine seed pearls and silver droplets. This real jewelry masterpiece flawlessly captures the grandeur of royal heirloom treasures.
Key Features
-
Traditional Guttapusalu Pearl Fringe: Showcases the classic, iconic fringing of bundled white seed pearls and delicate silver drops that mimic a bunch of small grapes, bringing rich texture and graceful movement.
-
Navratna-Inspired Floral Clusters: Features repeating five-petal rosette charms hand-set with alternating, teardrop-shaped natural ruby-pink and deep green gemstones surrounding a central clear white sapphire accent.
-
Woven Silver Rope Collar: The base chain is constructed from a flexible, multi-strand woven sterling silver rope mesh that sits comfortably flat and flush against the neckline.

Ornate Oxidation Shading: The silver is treated with an intentional antique patina, providing deep contrast in the crevices to maximize the brilliance of the colorful gemstones and white pearls.

Styling Tips
-
The Regal Festive Look: This choker is an exceptional companion for classic Indian textiles. Pair it with a pure raw silk lehenga, an ivory georgette suit, or a traditional Banarasi silk saree in gold, crimson, or forest green.
-
Framing the Neckline: To let the beautiful pearl fringe drape perfectly, style this piece on bare skin alongside broad scoop necks, sweetheart cuts, square necklines, or strapless ensembles.
-
Modern Fusion: Create a sophisticated contemporary statement by layering this antique floral choker over a solid black turtleneck top or beneath the open lapels of a crisp white silk button-down shirt.
Care Instructions
The dark shading on this necklace is an intentional, artistic oxidation, and pearls are highly sensitive organic gems. Never use liquid silver chemical dips, harsh abrasive polishing creams, or ultrasonic cleaners, which will instantly ruin the pearls and strip the antique finish.
-
Cosmetics First: Always apply your hairsprays, lotions, makeup, and perfumes before putting on your necklace. The chemicals and alcohol in beauty products can permanently alter silver finishes and corrode pearls.
-
Keep Away From Moisture: Avoid getting this piece wet. Remove it before entering saunas, showers, pools, or engaging in heavy active wear, as sweat and water minerals can damage the hand-wired pearl fringe.
-
Wiping & Storage: After each use, gently wipe down the back and front of the piece with a completely dry, ultra-soft microfiber cloth to clear away skin oils. Store the necklace completely flat in a cool, dark, dry place inside an airtight zip-lock bag or a soft fabric-lined pouch to prevent tangles and natural silver tarnish.
