Cast Silver Hemidrachs & Enamel Drop Earrings - "Medusa the Gorgon"
Channeling the mystique of ancient Greece, these striking earrings by Michael Jensen Designs center around silver castings taken from a classical hemidrachm - an ancient coin once minted in the city of Parion, Mysia (c. 350 - 300 BC). The focal point features the gorgon, Medusa, her tongue protruding and serpents encircling her head, captured in sterling silver and framed in rich yellow gold bezels.
Suspended beneath, hammered oxidized silver rings connect to elongated, tapered drops in hand-enameled green and golden yellow, echoing the mythical and organic in one fluid form. The vibrant enamel brings a fresh, modern contrast to the ancient inspiration, lending the piece a bold and contemporary elegance.
These earrings are a captivating blend of history and artistry - where classical numismatics meets high-concept design.
