who is this significant, symbolic figure? it's modeled after a very old Rondanini style Medusa, which is a more mild representation of the snake-filled hair
Medusa's face is crafted in shell and does have some fading/wear to the facial features
this is a conversion ring made long by combining a filigree setting and a pin and it has plenty of wear to prove it
solid yellow 14k + shell + natural diamond
M E A S U R E M E N T S
ring's opening is oval from having been sized up as much as possible, and so it doesn't sit flush on the mandrel. it fits like a size 8 and can easily be sized down, but cannot be sized up any further.
setting measures ~22mm north to south x 15mm east to west
rises ~6mm off the finger
~2mm diamond
base of the band is ~1.3mm wide
weighs 6.8g
C O N D I T I O N
in good upcycled vintage condition
the most significant wear is to the nose/mouth area of the face, which looks like it was at the hands of a polishing wheel long ago — oops! luckily, a huge part of this piece's wonderment is the intricate details of the gold hair/snakes and wings
band has a noticeable sizing area/seams and cannot be sized up further, but could easily be sized down
markings were lost to time/sizings
diamond is in good condition
deep, dark patina in the recessed areas of the undergallery
This is a vintage item and will show surface scratches, dents, dings, dulling, wear, patina, and signs of having been worn and loved
