Medusa Charm Sterling Silver | Mythology Jewelry | Made in USA
Medusa — the most feared figure in Greek mythology — rendered in .925 sterling silver with serpents writhing from her crown. This 2.8-gram charm captures the Gorgon in unflinching detail.
The centrifugal casting process generates roughly 50 G's of force, driving molten silver into every coiled snake and facial contour of the wax original. After cooling, each Medusa is hand-filed and polished through progressive stages, bringing out the contrast between smooth skin and the twisted texture of the serpent hair.
In Homer's telling, Medusa's gaze turned men to stone — but the Greeks also wore her image on shields and amulets as a ward against evil. This charm measures approximately 11/16" in each direction and depicts Medusa face-on, snakes radiating outward, with an expression that is more regal than monstrous.
An ideal piece for mythology enthusiasts, classical studies students, fans of Greek art, or anyone who considers themselves a protector. Sterling silver jump ring comes attached — hang it from a chain as a pendant or add it to a loaded charm bracelet.
