Hyderabad-based fine jewellery brand Shiv Narayan Jewellers has been awarded Guinness World Records in two categories for its  1,011.15 gram pendant. The design features a Ganesha rendered in 18 carat gold.

Shiv Narayan Jewellers’ Lord Ganesha pendant has been awarded the Guinness World Record for the heaviest gold pendant ever made, the brand announced on Facebook on March 15. The pendant has also been awarded a Guinness World Record for the most diamonds set on a pendant as it counts 11,472 diamonds.
 
The pendant is not only embellished with diamonds, it also features ruby and emerald florets and it is also fringed with high quality emerald beads. Designed to represent self-realisation, the Ganesha pendant is suspended from a four-row emerald and diamond necklace in a traditional style. 

A team of Shiv Narayan Jewellers’ artisans worked on the pendant for close to five months, the Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council announced on its website. The Guinness World Records were verified in a ceremony on March 13. 
 
The achievement is not only a significant milestone for the business, is it also important for Indian industry as a whole, announced the GJEPC. The traders’ body remarked that it highlights both the country’s craftsmanship and creativity.
