Introduced in the years after the head of Medusa became the house emblem in 1978, it was struck in the manner of an ancient Greek drachma and repeated along chains, belts and cuffs until it became shorthand for the whole Versace world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis necklace uses the coin at a refined scale. A continuous run of small round medallions, each stamped with the Medusa in relief, alternates with short rectangular bars and round jump rings, giving the chain a supple, almost fabric-like drape on the collarbone. It fastens with a fold-over box clasp at the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 40.5 cm it sits as a close collar on most necks, which is how it was styled at the time, under an open shirt or above a black knit. It also pairs naturally with the coin bracelets and belts from the same period, and it comes in a black Gianni Versace presentation box with the gold Medusa printed on the lid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gianni Versace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeason:\u003c\/strong\u003e Early 1990s (attributed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel \/ ref:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medusa coin link necklace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gold-plated metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in:\u003c\/strong\u003e Italy (believed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTagged size:\u003c\/strong\u003e One size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Length approx. 40.5 cm · Width approx. 1.1 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gianni Versace box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-owned vintage costume jewellery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSome dulling of the finish and plating wear, most visible on the connecting bars and jump rings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedusa relief remains clear on the coins.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClasp functions correctly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBox shows light handling wear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eB\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Japanese scale; see \u003ca href=\"\/es\/blogs\/news\/japanese-condition-ranks-explained\"\u003eJapanese condition ranks, explained\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe labels, materials, stitching, hardware and construction are examined together and documented in Japan before dispatch; anything that cannot be confirmed is stated plainly in the description.
