THE DESIGN STORY

The Medusa Snake Necklace draws on one of the most powerful figures in Greek mythology. Once a mortal woman renowned for her beauty, Medusa was transformed into a Gorgon, crowned with snakes and said to possess a gaze that could turn onlookers to stone.

Handcrafted with sculptural detail, the carved snake motif is rendered in a gold-plated finish, transforming a symbol once feared into one of protection and strength. Throughout antiquity, Medusa's image was used as a talisman to guard against harm and evil.

Suspended from an adjustable cord necklace, the piece is designed to sit close to the body - a modern emblem of power, resilience, and self-possession.

 

ETHOS

Produced in a family run workshop of 7 workmen and women, our pieces are exclusively carved and crafted by hand in Athens, using Ancient Greek jewellery-making techniques and silversmithing. As champions of slow production, we create only small quantities per design. If a piece is sold out you are welcome to place a pre-order, which has a three week turnaround period, for a piece to be made exclusively for you. Unique designs that are not part of our core collection of YSSO Icons, will no longer be available once they sell out. Explore more about our story in the article about YSSO in the New York Times.
