The Vihaga Silver Gandaberunda Thread Necklace (Oxidised)

A magnificent necklace that revives the timeless grandeur of South Indian temple jewellery, this piece is centered around the Gandaberunda — the legendary two-headed bird from Hindu mythology. Symbolising immense magical strength and the power to overcome destructive forces, the Gandaberunda is a rare and powerful emblem of heritage.
The necklace is adorned with vibrant kempu stones, lending it a delicate, feminine touch that beautifully balances the fierce symbolism of the motif.

Meticulously handcrafted in 92.5% Sterling Silver, the piece is oxidised to highlight its intricate detailing. Crafted using the ancient art of nakkashi, each detail is painstakingly carved by hand, creating lifelike forms that rise in striking three-dimensional relief.
