Carnelian intaglio of Perseus

Carnelian intaglio of Perseus

Here is Perseus straight from the Garden of the Hesperides where, aided by the god Hermes and the goddess Athena, he decapitated Medusa who had the power to petrify anyone who turned their gaze towards her. A great psychological meaning can be drawn from this myth, namely that fortune favours the bold, Perseus encourages us not to petrify ourselves but to take action. The carnelian is engraved with Perseus holding a large sword, his arm lifting the now decapitated head of Medusa. Mid 20th century period stone to be mounted on a ring preferably in yellow gold. Oval size 19 mm 26 mm – Buy history not just a piece of jewellery!
Price on request – Sometimes we publish jewellery on the site that is only available to order; often photos and details of the jewellery you see are published as a historical reference of our 50 years and more of activity for future orders. We almost always do not publish prices due to the ever-changing costs of precious metals and stones; you can ask us if the jewellery you have seen is available and we will reply in a short time for an estimate.
