Medusa - maligned and feared, is so misunderstood. Most people simply think of her as a hideous, snake-haired monster, but if you dig deeper, it turns out that she was r*ped by Poseidon and then victim-blamed and punished by Minerva, who gave her the snakes instead of her hair. She is now often seen as a figure of feminine rage and indignance. I think she’s brilliant - she even birthed Pegasus at her death and that’s pretty wild. Read more about her HERE.

This pendant is based on the classical, fierce depictions of her face. She’s very pissed off. She comes in sterling silver, 14k gold plated silver or 18k solid gold in a brushed satin finish, and with a matching jump ring so you can add her to a necklace.

Each piece is cast in precious metal from a meticulously carved master, and is hand polished. Items will have some variation in their finish from the one pictured, making each one individual and retaining that handmade feel.

Gold plated items are plated in 14k yellow gold over sterling silver. The plating will last fairly well - about a year - if the piece is not worn constantly or worn so that it rubs against other items of jewellery. It can be re-plated for a fee - please enquire by e-mail.

Care instructions: Do not allow your pendant or necklace to come into contact with perfumes or harsh chemicals.
