Medusa Clear Quartz Intaglio 18K Gold Pendant - Ready to Wear

Inspired by Nathaniel Marchant's renowned Rondanini Medusa, our Gorgon pendant offers a more graceful and human portrayal of Medusa than the fearsome depictions often seen throughout art history. The design is deeply engraved into a slightly included rock crystal, while Medusa's face is polished to a luminous finish, creating a striking contrast between the figure and the surrounding stone. In the ancient world, Medusa's image was commonly used as a protective symbol, believed to ward off evil and offer protection to its wearer. Materials: Slightly included rock crystal set in a solid 18K gold pendant Dimensions: Approximately 20mm x 28mm Weight: Approximately 8g You will receive the exact piece shown on this page. Please note that this pendant differs from the Made to Order version in that the intaglio is reversed within the setting. This is simply an aesthetic variation.
