Versace La Medusa Pendant on Triple-Strand Chain Necklace, Gold Tone, 56 cm, Made in Italy

The contemporary La Medusa head, cut out in sculpted relief, suspended from a Greek key ring on three fine strands of gold-tone chain, with a small Medusa drop at the extender.

The Piece

La Medusa is the modern house’s freestanding version of its emblem: the head without its coin, cut to its own silhouette of hair and serpents so that it reads as a small sculpture. It has become the central motif of contemporary Versace jewellery and leather goods.

On this necklace a pendant of about 6.8 by 4 cm, measured with its bail, hangs from a ring engraved with the Greek key. The chain is three strands of fine curb links gathered into ribbed end caps, which gives the necklace fullness without weight. It closes with a lobster clasp onto an extension chain finished with a miniature Medusa. The reverse of the head is stamped Versace Made in Italy.

With a total length of about 56 cm it falls below the collarbone and sits beautifully at an open collar. It is unisex and pairs well with a slimmer single chain.
